I tried it in WinBoard now, and I think I also found the ideal key for this. Enter in WinBoard as already taken, because it is forwarded to the ICS console. (The XBoard equivalent would be to make it trigger sending the message currently in the ICS input box.) I tried Tab, but there the

If input notation can be localized at some point in the future, as I think it should, then the first character of a move will not necessary be a ASCII letter (A-Z) or number. You mean it can be a code 127? Then we shouldonly exclude the keys we want to use for binding. '.' could be an

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #35000 (project xboard): I have tested the git code. I doesn't work too well. Ctrl + . does go to the previus position when pressed, and back again when released. However if you don't release the . key immediately, the key will start to repeat, and the board will thus
