Sorry Michael, I didn't miss the suggestion, it's just not applicable to
my question. I was not asking for advice on accounting methods or
changing workflow. I was asking about a specific
programming/theming/coding question for the software itself.
I already have many account tabs open already, I don't want more. I also
don't want to create new account structures for temporary holding
accounts that I then have to open up to see what's happening (see
previous statement in this paragraph). I don't even use the imbalance
account because I never enter anything imbalanced in the first place.

I think you missed a very important part of the suggestion I was making.
Yes this involves another "register" (account) but you would not be
"looking through it" to find which transactions needed to be fixed. ANY
transaction that you found there would need to be fixed and once fixed
would no longer be there. Think for a moment of how "Imbalance" works.
Any transactions you find in Imbalance need to be fixed and once fixed
disappears, from Imbalance. This would work like that.
Part of the problem might be not ever having done bookkeeping the old
fashioned way, entering transactions into the "journal" and then
"posting" to the "ledger". Essentially what happens when you enter
"split mode" is that you are seeing what would have been the journal
entry for that transaction and when you complete that split what you
have as that journal entry gets "posted" to the ledger.
