This slipped my mind earlier, but one minor thing that may be worth considering. Could be nice to make the new functionality optional. Could do this via:

Under "-- Default configuration" add tracker.cfg.switchback = 1

Under "tracker.binaryOptions =" add { 'switchback', 'Go back to first column when entering chords' },

And then change if tracker.shiftChordInProgress and gfx.mouse_cap & 8 == 0 then to if tracker.cfg.switchback == 1 and tracker.shiftChordInProgress and gfx.mouse_cap & 8 == 0 then

Then it just becomes a toggle-able option in the options screen.

I agree that all the extra if statements are a bit nasty. I have an idea for a nicer way to do it, inspired by your suggestion but slightly different. I'll write it up in a bit and you can see whether you prefer it. If you don't like it then I'll implement your suggestion as described.

Happy to add it as an option, though I think it makes sense for it to be on by default. (I would be surprised if anyone preferred the old behaviour.)

Looks good to go! :+1:
