The notation window includes a list of game moves AND tabs with buttons for adding symbols (move, evaluation and other). See attached screenshot.png.
I understand some may want direct access to adding symbols, however, this is not a priority feature for me and is also accessible via right-clicking the move.
Suggestion:
1. Remove the symbol menu from the notation widget AND create a symbol widget that can optionally be added to the dashboard.
2. Alternatively, remove the vertical symbol menus and add a horizontal symbol menu under the move list as illustrated in attached screenshot2.png.
3. Alternatively, have an option to hide the symbol menus.
Here are the screenshots.
Ha! Wouldn't you know... there's a scroll bar that I can use to eliminate this portion of the screen.
