Indeed.

It has been so long since I tried it I never realized it was working. Perhaps I should test a bit before cluttering up the list.

Thanks!

I entered e (for expenses) : (colon) L (first letter of an expense placeholder account) : (colon) and then used the up and down arrows to navigate through the items on the list. On this Ubuntu 19.10 system running GnuCash 3.8, the "pop-up" list of accounts visible was about as tall as the "active" area of the register window, so I could see quite a few as I scrolled through the accounts.
