Thanks David. I recalled there was some sort of account search but couldn't remember how to bring it up. (I don't think it has a menu entry) This does help find matching accounts, but it does require a few extra keys to open the desired register. However, it is accessible from anywhere (not

Not that I'm aware of, but just tab or shift-tab to the other column. A negative credit is a positive debit and vice versa. If you try entering a negative, you'll see GnuCash moves it to the other column as a positive anyway. Regards, Adrien On 9/9/20 12:31 PM, ToddAndMargo via gnucash-user
