[moneydance] Transactions in categories (was Flyover popups)

[Sean Reilly]

Build 612 still allows transaction entry in categories just like with  
previous versions.

I think I can add a key to suppress the flyover/tooltip with  
transaction details, however would anyone prefer to use a key (like  
'alt') to display the tooltip rather than suppress it?

Thanks,
Sean
