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

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!
