Having punched literally hundreds of scoresheets I feel this so hard.

There is CTRL-z, and there is the back and replace move, but both of these
break your flow.

Suggestion and feature request: I would love to be able to take back a move
by simply moving the piece back. So I play e2-e4, realize I should have
played d2-d4, so instead of making a black move I make another white move
in reverse order to undo the previous move: e4-e2, followed by d2-d4, and
then the black move.
