Should be fixed. Comments are stored as soon as Comment editor (CE)
looses focus or you move a ply onwards.

Fixed. Usual Alt-F4 to close the window should close and store the comment.

Fixed. You can Ctrl-Left/Right through the game. (Left/Right alone is
not sensible as you need to move in the text, right?)

Is it already enough if you can Ctrl-Left in the CE once you fired it up
for the premove comment? Then it is fixed with point 3. To me that's
easier than Ctrl-Alt-Meta-Shift-E.

Fixed. Tab is used to switch through the buttons, so use Alt-N to toggle
between NAG and Text area. (Notice that Ctrl-N fires up the NAG help.)

Fixed.

Fixed. Either use mouse and button or ALT-B to toggle the board.
Please check if everything is to your liking.
And
Merry Christmas and a happy new Year!
