Mac keyboard shortcuts?

Okay, I'll have to wait till I bump into the problem again and make more careful notes.

Re yes/no — why does the dialog pop up three times in succession before it will accept the answer?

However, I'm having so many other troubles with import that I'm just going to reenter the transactions from my old system — it will be easier than correcting so many errors (duplicate reversing, unmatched transactions, etc.).  However, on the register screens the cut/paste key commands seem to work as expected.  (However, no undo, I guess…)

The one that comes to my mind is the one which you use to assign accounts to each transaction, and I'm under the impression that it doesn't take text input; you have to double click on the transaction and then select the account from a picker dialog.
