When I need to move all lots, I write the transaction without the lots (so it
doesn't balance), then in the web interface beancount shows me the error, and
in some place it says the lots before the transaction, with all correct
numbers, costs, dates, etc. Then I copy that text and paste it in my
transaction, because it happens to use the same syntax. Then you need to do
some editor macro to change signs. It's still a lot of lines but it's fast to
do.
I prefer writing all numbers explicitly, it's stricter. But there could be a
plugin to rename an account, or to move „everything“ from one to account to the
other. Mmmm… maybe „pad“ can do this?
