I asked this question earlier but initial responses made me realize more detail 
was necessary.

I am a newby to gnucash ... trying to switch from Quicken to gnucash.
A mistake I regularly make is to enter a transaction into the wrong account.
I'll have several accounts open and I just forget to switch.
In Quicken, I just move the transaction (splits and all) to the new account.
The Internet chatter I've found so far lead me to believe this feature is 
missing from gnucash.
I hope that's not true because it would really cause me excessive hassle.
I hope there is a way to move a transaction (including any splits) to another 
account.

Here is an example which illustrates a typical situation:
Let's say I have two credit cards, VISA and MASTER CARD.
Each has their own top-level CREDIT CARD account in gnucash, and each has its 
own tab in gnucash.
I meant to enter a transaction in VISA but accidently entered it in MASTER CARD.
The transaction is for $10 with WALMART in the description.
So, the main entry shows $10 and the splits show $5 to the clothing account and 
$5 to the food account.
I want to move the entire WALMART transaction, including the splits, from the 
MASTER CARD top-level account to the VISA top-level account in one easy step.
This is easily doable in Quicken by right-clicking anywhere in the transaction, 
clicking MOVE, and selecting the new account VISA.
How is this done in gnucash?
