Change numeric variation-labels to alpha variation labels

Open artasparks opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Suggestion from Anders Kierulf. Go players are typically more familiar with using a,b,c etc. for variation labels than numbers. Numbers usually imply move progressions.

When this takes place, we might consider adding key-bindings so you can select the labels. If up-and-down keys switch between variations, though, this might be sufficient.

Is this really a useful feature? I'm not sure. For reference, Eidogo uses numbers GoSWF uses letters WGo.js uses numbers OnlineGo and KGS don't need letters/numbers since they have gametrees.

Backlog for now.

I agree that for diagrams, lower case alphas make mores sense, I'm just not sure if that's true here
