Description

Copy branch as PGN in particular needs modifier keys to work in all of its modalities. One solution could be:

  1. right click on move -> shows the menu with Copy branch as PGN
  2. right click on Copy branch as PGN -> expands into multiple entries
  3. click the one you want

Same for Split chapter on bookmark item or others menu items that accept modifier keys

Obviously, that precludes using multiple options at the same time, such as "split, from position", but that should be a very edge usage scenario.

Research direction

Start by locating the handlers for Copy branch as PGN, Split chapter, and other menu items that currently depend on modifier keys. Trace how their modifier-key options are exposed, then verify that right-click menus provide equivalent choices without breaking existing multi-option behavior.
