[GNC] Possible Jump Enhancement

[Edith Murphy]

Hi David,

I would find that helpful as it would allow the quick jump for a split transaction when looking at the basic ledger.  Also a way to see which accounts are involved in a split transaction without having to click split.  I often want a quick look at info from the auto-split ledger without having to switch to it.

Thank you and all the people who work on this program.  I appreciate what you do.

Edith
