Keyboard input of moves

I would like to play chess by inputting the moves on keyboard. I find that this feature exists, but in an incomplete form. I would like to use the ICCF format as I can input quickly via numpad, but then when I type the moves fastly, it recognizes it as an invalid move. If I type it slowly, it takes in input a two number chunk at a time. But when I type fastly, the feature cannot accept a direct four digit number as an input. This is irritating and is costing me loss of time games, the main thing that I want to avoid by using this feature.

TL;DR: ICCF format input of moves, four digits are not recognized at once. This slows down game speed.

oh, I misread your post @vvsthegreat

you're right, the first 2 digits are processed before you can enter the 2 next (which is not the definition of ICCF)

however, I tried to type the 4 digit as fast as I could, I could not reproduce

Hi, thanks for actually taking this down as a bug and so quickly.
