Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #35000] Temporary previous position ('.' key, former Ctrl) conflicts with start of Type a move

[h.g. muller]

I still have some bad feelings about this fix. It seems to me that using a 
two-key stroke
or this funtion pretty much destroys its usefulness completely. I don't see 
much of a reason
for its existence in the first place; highighting shows you pretty learly 
what the last move was,
when you use arrow highlighting even more so than the traditional 
square-boundary highlighting.
Perhaps it is a remnant of the monochrome era? I am not sure at all if 
XBoard would still work
in monochrome...

Anyway, if we want to keep this feature, I would be in favor of continuing 
to use a plain .
rather than Ctrl+. , now that the auto-repeat problem is fixed (I would 
onsider this an X-tools bug,
btw: auto-repeat is not a keydown event!) Then we can drop this paying 
attention to the Ctrl key
in the MoveTypeIn callback as well (normally this is automatic, but there 
is no such ASCII character
as Ctrl+. !) It would be better to only pop up the move type-in only for 
alphanumerics, not in the least
because that is what WinBoard does too.
