moved to different key (enter), so that it is still a one-key operation

I attach a diff file for a solution to the repeat key problem which works for me by testing if a release event is triggered by a repeating key.

(file #24575)

I have tested the git code. I doesn't work too well. Ctrl + . does go to the previus position when pressed, and back again when released.

However if you don't release the . key immediately, the key will start to repeat, and the board will thus start to repeat going back and forward between the two positions. So you cannot hold the previous position for more than short moment (how long of course depending on your keyboard configuration).

For this to work properly you have to use non-repeating keys.

This should be fixed in the latest git version.

I moved . -> Ctrl+.
The iconify function got removed, since this should be handled by the window manager.

Would be great, if you could test it and let me know if it works for you.

There is a similar problem with the "-" key.

It will both iconify xboard and pop up a "Type a move" window with a "-".

The Ctrl key was in earlier versions used to temporary show previous position, but the function is now default bound to the "." key. However there it conflicts with the "Type a move" function.

When you press "." two things happen:
1) The previous position is displayed
2) The Type a move window pops up with a "."

When you release "." nothing happens. The shown position is not restored.
