Hi,
a comment editor "cursor", as far as I know, do not exist in Scid :)
Once upon a time going back one move from the beginning of a variation did not
automatically returned to the main line, and it generated many confusing
behaviors.
The example above can be create (and imported from PGN) in current Scid.
This is the sequence to type on the keyboard:
<ctrl+n><ctrl+e>The game starts<ctrl+e>e4<left-arrow><ctrl+a><ctrl+e>Hm, I
would have expected<ctrl+e>c4<ctrl+e>from this guy<ctrl+e>
Gerd's point is different, the problem is that the PGN "standard" do not
forbid:
1. e4 { comment to e4 } { comment to what? } { is this a comment before e5? }
e5
but if we (really?) want to have a serious discussion about this we need a
list of how the other chess software (commercial and open) import the above
PGN.
I personally like to comment _positions_ not _moves_.
Even if I think about people around a concrete chessboard, they talk about the
current position or the position that appears after a move.
However, in Scid is also possible to comment a variation instead of a position
(but why?) with the hidden <ctrl+a> that creates an empty variation: enter a
comment before making the move to have a "comment before a move".
Bye,
Fulvio
