Package: scid
Version: 1:4.3.0.cvs20110714-2
Severity: normal

Hitting a key combination like Alt-G now seems to trigger keyboard move
entry (similarly as G alone would if the Keyboard Completion option were
on).  But now I don't know how to activate the Game menu with a keyboard.

As a workaround I tried to hit F10 to activate the first menu on the
menu bar, but instead I got the bookmark menu tearing off the icon bar
within the board tab.  I guess this is because the baord tab has the
focus, but then there doesn't seem to be a way to shift the focus via
keyboard (Tab does nothing).

I recommend the author or upstream maintainer sit down and try to drive
scid entirely with the keyboard, just once.
