Leave the cursor in the account field and don't fill in anything else (notes, amount, etc).  That would be ideal for me.  Simply turning off the auto-complete is, I expect, a simpler option and probably already there I just don't know where to turn it off.

I realize this isn't quite what you're asking, but there is a mouse 
right-click option on a transaction to "remove other splits."

When you are typing, using the mouse is not convenient, so you can set 
up a shortcut for it.

Reference: 
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts#Modifying_Keyboard_Shortcuts

I found the full list of shortcut-able actions in my root folder
/usr/share/gnucash/ui/

So in my local file ~/.local/share/gnucash/accelerator-map (on Linux, 
your path will be different if you are on Windows or Apple), I have 
added these 2 lines:

; Remove other splits from transaction
(gtk_accel_path 
"<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/RemoveTransactionSplitsAction" 
"<Primary>m")

Now I can hit Ctrl+M to make my other splits disappear.

Note that the example in the wiki is a different splits shortcut, I 
think to turn on multiple split entry.
