[GNC] Merger of Accounts

Before using GnuCash, I was using Quicken & Homebank.
In both these software (single entry bookkeeping software), it uses the
head of accounts as Account in case of Cash, Bank, Liability, Assets etc.
But for head relating to Income & Expenditure it defines as Category.
While in Quicken you can use Account & Category in the same transaction by
splitting the amounts with the relevant amounts. But in Homebank it doesn't
allow splitting amounts into 2 or more heads; but allows Category to be
splitted in different heads.
*One better feature in both Quicken & Homebank is that it allows you to
merge & demerge any category (income & Expenses head) as many times as you
desire.*
*But in the case of GnuCash both Accounts or Categories ( Income & Expenses
head ) are termed as Accounts.*
*My specific Query is whether is it possible to merge one account with
another account by a single process?*
*I am using my Ubuntu 20.4 as my O.S.*
*If you ask, I can mail the screenshots of software wnries from Homebank (
developed by Home'bank.fr <http://bank.fr>) fully free legally*
*Your earliest response will be highly appreciated.*
