[GNC] Fwd: Re: Possible Suggestion: Give transactions a default 'Jump to' target account

[Stan Brown]

Apologies -- I clicked "reply" instead of "reply List".



Since you asked for opinions --

Speaking for myself only, I just click Split in the top row of icons,
then click on the account I want in the expanded transaction and Jump. I
don't think the pop-up would help me in my workflow.
