I currently use the jump feature a lot to navigate from the SLR entry list (a search window) to various account registers to verify context around new entries, and individual account registers are crucial to monitoring current balances in asset and liability accounts.
However, if the jump feature would jump to an individual account register if the focus is on a split line or to the General Ledger view if in the description line, I would find that personally acceptable. I do not use single line register view or basic ledger view. Since General Ledger view and search window views do not allow basic ledger view, that might be an issue for those who like the basic ledger view.
