[GNC] Bulk moving transactions

[Jean Laroche]

Does it not trike you as insane that we have to go through these hoops 
just to bulk move transactions? Something that should be as simple as 
shift-select, right-click, move?
I'm not sure how support for multi-select operations was never seriously 
looked at.
