Details:

This is not a bug, just a suggestion.
On FICS the only secure way to claim a draw (3fold/50moves) with your next
move is prefixing your move with "draw ". Typing that is painful. Hitting "d"
right after your move gives the opponent the chance the premove out of the
drawn position. Unlike ICC, FICS doesn't take a draw offer before your move
into account.

For me I added AltDown/AltUp Actions (for the left Alt key) that just change
one variable. Depending on that var SendMoveToICS() prefixes the move with
"draw ".
Holding down Alt while moving sends "draw move" then.
