navigating the opening tree using arrow keys
I love the fact that when I analyze openings with openings book and choose another move, it doesnt ask me what do I want to do (like in chessbase) but instead just makes a sideline. There is one thing I miss from chessbase. Is it somehow possible to move through opening tree with arrow keys (without clicking the moves or moving the on the board). I find the arrow key navigation much faster. Thanks!

You are right move selection of moves listed in the Opening Explorer is not possible via the keyboard. Something for the future.
Please note when playing through a game it is possible to choose subvariations in the notation using the keyboard, I mention this because I have noticed many people do not realise that is possible. Simply use Ctrl+arrow (Cmd+arrow on Mac), and if there is more than one choice you will get a dialog to choose the continuation to follow. The default arrow behaviour (without ctrl/cmd) is to follow the current line.
