Re: New Transaction

Hi Vic,
I can't say for certain why the OK/Done button was removed but my
guess would be that presumably your hands are on the keyboard entering
data, it is easier to keep them there and just hit ENTER.
The 'Split' button resides at the top of the 'Category' field of a txn.
Keeping with the 'hands on the keyboard' theme, TAB into the 'Category'
field, then use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to open the 'Category' drop-
down list.  The 'Split' button is at the top.  Alternately,  CTRL - L
for Macs, CMD - L
