I've implemented one of the most wanted feature requests, some
helpers for sub-variation traversal without watching the editor.
It took a while until I did the implementation, because I knew
that I don't like to have a popup window - this is annoying,
and disturbs the work flow - but I didn't know what I should do.
Finally I've found two solutions:

--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Clickable arrows on board (invented in Scid (?))
--------------------------------------------------------------
These arrows are optional (use context sensitive menu over board)
and disabled by default.

--------------------------------------------------------------
2. A sliding selection pane
--------------------------------------------------------------
This sliding pane is enabled by default, and it is possible to
position this pane at any side of the board (use context-senstive
menu).

How to use this pane:

a) Click with mouse on wanted move.

b) Select wanted move with left/right key (use bottom/up if pane
   is vertical oriented), and do the selection with Return or Space.

c) Press the associated move number on keyboard.

d) Retract pane with Escape, or with bottom/up key (left/right
   key if pane is vertical oriented).
--------------------------------------------------------------

Check out revision r985.

Any suggestions about this features?

Cheers,
Gregor
