Focus the main window, press ? and <enter> (I just made those bindings
to be obeyed in all windows, till now this was limited to work in
docking mode.)
Same for all major nag symbols like ? ! !? ?! = ~ +- +/ -+ -/
Alternatively use comment editor (Windows/Comment Editor or Ctrl-E)
select from the buttons there. Or just key in the NAG values in the line
offered for them. Again the major ones also have some ASCII
representation. You might want to notice Ctrl-N to show a table of all
those available.

Hm, ok, we could add "open comment editor" here. I've added this item.
I think, and already mentioned that before, that it is difficult to
allow for all NAG symbols in a menu list. Scid allows for about 250 (the
whole PGN standard + some extensions). Ie. a lot more then some
commercial compeititor. I do not know how to order this amount of
symbols in a sensible way in GUI-items.

What is Alt-C to be supposed to do? I mean beyond opening the Colours
menu if you're in PGN window.

I can not reproduce that.

Currently no new stuff is going on, all I do at the moment are minor
adjustments like the above.
