Going with the latter (since GnuCash makes the distinction between Tab and Enter in many places), is there any place in the documentation that clearly outlines the fact that there IS a difference between Tab and Enter? It would seem to me that having such a definition--one that explains what the difference is, why it exists, and what the practical effects are in various situations (such as entering a transaction or adding an account)--would be very useful. 

I'd write such a definition up, if I knew the what where and why, and then could figure out where best to put the resulting text.
