My mistake I suppose. Every program I have ever used uses Ctrl-PgDn to
go to the end of the file at the first entry point and Ctrl-PgUp to go
to the top of the file at the first entry. GNC seems to have a
different hotkey combination for this behavior. I have never ran across
another program that uses Shft-PgDn to go to the bottom of the file or
Shft-PgUp to go to the first entry.
Shft-PgUp and Shft-PgDn are used to select everything from the current
caret to top of file or bottom of file for copy/cut in all other
programs that I have ever used.
A habit that I will have to break when using GNC. I just tested it and
in fact Shft-PgDn does take me where I want it to.
Thank you for explaining in John Ralls.

Since when is control-page down the "official key combo"? See
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_txns.html#txns-register-oview,
section 2.9.2.4 Using Entry Shortcuts:
"
• To move around the register, use these keys to save time:
• Tab to move to the next field, Shift+Tab to move to the
previous field
• Home to move to the beginning of the field, End to move to
the end of the field
• Enter or ↓ to move to the next transaction, ↑ to move to the
previous transaction
• Page Up to move up one screen, Page Down to move down one
screen
• Shift+Page Up to go to the first transaction, Shift+Page Down
to go to the last transaction
"

Indeed, shift-fn-down_arrow drops me to a blank transaction with the focus on
the date field. Thanks!
I still think it a bug that the official key combo doesn't work properly. I
thought one was filed already but can't seem to find it.
Note, it isn't just the key combo not working. Using Action > Blank Transaction
also takes you to the first Action Field rather than the date field. So it is the
underlying function that doesn't work.

Having not investigated a quick way of getting to a new blank transaction
before, Ive done some experimenting on my iMac (GNC 4.9 + Big Sur).
fn-uptriangle Top of current register screen
fn-downtriangle Bottom of current register screen
Shift-fn-uptriangle Earliest transaction in register
Shift-fn-downtriangle Bottom of current register, blank transaction
If I use the extra cluster of nine keys on the wide keyboard:
Shift-uparrow Earliest transaction in register
Shift-downarrow Bottom of current register, blank transaction
All I have to do now is remember these the next time I need them!
