lichess keyboard input plug-in for chrome • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Recently found this and was wondering if it is considered "legal" for use? I have not found anywhere saying it is not, but someone in a twitch chat said it was not allowed. I have definitely seen others use it in streams, but wanted to know if there is official policy. (Now I know why there is a green square on the right side rook and knight on some people's screens to differentiate them)

@Guozi There is chrome plugin that allows you to have your mouse cursor over a target square and use keyboard to pick piece. I think that if you practice knowing the keys really well, that it would probably save several seconds for moving instead of dragging piece. I do not want to put a link or reference beyond that without knowing if its considered legal.
I could see it being a huge difference in bullet if someone was good with it.
