Re: [Scidvspc-users] Move to end of variation feature / Mac docker

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Hmmm - i tried binding Home to move-to-var start, but it doesn't feel right.
So i'll just commit the patch i sent. ('End' moves to var-end).
We always have 'z' to exit var... which is the move prior to the var start,
and more meaningful as move-forward draws the var arrows, reinforcing that
"we are in var".

Hopefully it should already work that way. Delete key will delete to end of
game , or end of var, whichever.
Deleting individual variations is a little more complicated.
Without using the PGN window, you have to use edit->delete-variation.

cheers.
