Key bindings for arrows are used to navigate a game. To add extra shortcuts
to navigate in Tree window seems confusing for me : could you precise the
expected behavior ?

Repertoire navigation is not the purpose of the Tree window : it is a
statistics tool. One idea is to enter one's repertoire as a bunch of games
(with variations), and when navigating with arrow keys, you navigate your
repertoire. The Tree window then gives relevant stats.

Right, but the removal of a move means reconstructing the book feasible but
needs some work. One solution is to edit the book and set h3 value to 0.

User repertoire, Book and Tree are three different things. For the first,
User repertoire, there are two solutions :
- the repertoire editor,
- repertoire base (like described above).
