Suggestion for making account selection in splits

[trythis]

I am looking for a better way to apply accounts to transactions. Please offer
suggestions.
Right now, I have a lot of account and some have 30 sub accounts with sub
accounts in the 30 to 50 range.
I have my accounts broken up like this to make keying the account names
easier:
AB Assets business
AP Assets Personal
EB Expense Business
EP Expense Personal
E Equity
IB Income Business
IP Income Personal
LB...
LP....you get the idea.

Selecting accounts to apply to transactions in split mode is darn slow and
quite tedious especially when doing two or three months at a time.  

I am wondering if you can share some tricks that can make this easier
besides memorizing a thousand numerical account codes. The drop down menu
requires a lot of keyboard activity, which I have shortened to, for example:
"AB [end key] (now its either lots of up/down arrow action or hope I
remember the accounts name by just typing it in).
You just cant see enough with the drop down menu to make this quick.

I think it would be fantastic if you could click a little button that would
pop up a full account page and when you click on the account you want or a
check box and [Okay] button it gets applied. Multiple boxes would create
additional splits automatically in the register. Wish I was a programmer
sometimes.

Anyway, any suggestions for making this tedious task suck less?
Thanks,
Trythis
