While it's good there are different ways of moving through a game, it
doesn't really change that a non-modal window isn't working very well for a
workflow where you move quickly back and forth through games using the arrow
keys. That most other windows are opened in tabs just makes this exception
more jarring.
I can't currently contribute a patch for changing this, so should and will
not harp on about this. I really enjoy using Scite even with this issue, and
is grateful to all contributors for their efforts in the past as well as the
future.
