To take this further, if there were a single keystroke that performs
the "Remove Split Transaction" function, that would be nice.
Alternatively, if you could "undo" the auto-fill (including splits)
using the standard undo keystroke, it would help, though of course it
might be more efficient to also have a special "don't auto-fill when I
tab" keystroke as Quicken does.

If anyone creates the RFE for this, please post the number to this
thread -- I would love to subscribe to it but I don't have time to
create it at the moment.
