Instead of modifying the register code as you suggest, how about adding a
key binding to

Transaction --> Remove other splits

This is the command I use all the time when the circumstance you describe
comes up, mostly because I previously entered multiple different types of
purchases at a large store, and need to key in a new transaction for a
different shopping trip. If you're not aware of the function, give it a try
and see if it does what you need.

You may be able to add the keybinding yourself. (I haven't looked to see if
that function provides for it.)
