Description with steps to reproduce
Currently, only numeric characters 1-5 are valid entries for fingerings on fretboard diagrams. "T" and "t" should also be accepted, to indicate "thumb" (example below) as well as "P" and "p" for pulgar as pointed out here.

I should be able to enter "T" in this box.
