Lila: Keyboard support

[goggle]

I would like to bring in a feature request. It would be nice to able to play chess games only by using the keyboard as a input device.

For example by typing "Nf3" the knight should jump to the f3 square (assuming this move is legal), and the move can then be confirmed by pressing the key.

Is something like this planned? What kind of work would be needed to implement this feature?

I will increase my efforts on developing #1157 as I would very much like to see this or something like it implemented.

I started thinking about this and made a test implementation https://github.com/flugsio/lila/commit/f1677355e91f628c41003a2aeb911397481a85ba Think I got stuck on decisions to make (like navigation consistency regardless of white/black over logical movement, and many other things I didn't want to make into options), would like to continue but I'm rather low on free time.
