Hi, I'd like to request a new bugzilla account for reporting a gnucash bug.
The screen name Awilley (add a number if you want) works for me.

Alternatively, if you want to just take bug report here, I'll attach a
screenshot and write a description below.

Thanks,
Anthony

This bug has to do with the transaction importing dialogue.

When I'm importing transactions, I usually select blocks of transactions
and assign them to the appropriate accounts. I select the transactions,
right click, select 'assign transferama account', and then begin to type in
the name of the account with the keyboard. When the correct account is
narrowed down, I press "Enter" to select that account and assign. The
desired (and intuitive) behavior is for the "Enter" button to act as the
"OK" button, assigning the transactions to the account that was selected
above. In fact, as best I can remember, this is how Gnucash works in
Windows. (I switched to Mac a couple years ago, so relying on memory here.)

However on Mac OS (I'm on Silicon) pressing "Enter" doesn't function as
"OK" but it instead inserts a weird Unicode looking character after
whatever I typed, which has the function of de-selecting whatever was
selected (because it's no longer a match). So I end up having to go back to
the mouse and select "OK" manually, which is quite a bit slower than just
typing a few letters and hitting "Enter" when I'm categorizing a lot of
transactions.

I'm on the latest version (5.13).
