Add more keyboard shortcuts, at least for "Remove Other Splits" and "Split Transaction"
...or add a Preference item "New Split Transactions are always empty"

Adjusting Hotkeys
The accelerator map can be edited on Windows (where it's somewhere like C:\Users\USERNAME\.gnucash\accelerator-map in the case of Vista) or Mac (where it's ~/Library/Application Settings/Gnucash/acclerator-map), and Linux (it should be in ~/.gnucash/accelerator-map).
I think you are looking for:
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/RemoveTransactionSplitsAction" "<Primary>backslash")
and
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/SplitTransactionAction" "<Primary>space")You can of course change it to whatever works in your situation.. I hope this helps!
I use WYSIWYG shortcut editing in Linux, but it doesn't work for everyone, it is somewhat mentioned here: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Keyboard_Shortcuts
