Keyboard shortcuts for moves

[joshka]

Problem

You have to manually select a square to move a piece, which is a bit tedious.

Solution

It would be good to be able to quickly use the keyboard for this (e.g a5 or Nc3).

Good idea adding that to the roadmap

I'm currently working on this.

As I see, it would be helpful to have the gameboard columns and rows visible, as they differ based on which color you play.
At this point, I implemented the cursor moves based on keys 1 to 8, respectively A to H (You can press them in any order, separately, then enter to confirm the respective selection), but I haven't implemented the white/black cases, so it's universal.

In term of UI we could have a new shortcut to open an input popup where we could write the move to play, if the move is invalid open the popup back with a little message saying the move was invalid.

To answer this we are already reading users input from chess-tui in the render_enter_multiplayer_ip function you could use kind of the same system for sure to get the key input @xiangsgao
