Crazyhouse Piece Jail Behaviour

I support ChessWhiz's idea.

Talked with several high rated elo player about that and everyone seems to like this thing.

click click to select and drop, instead of drag and drop plz.
This keyboard shortcut seems to be a popular suggestion here - I can't really say I would use it, because I'll probably need a spare hand to punch a wall while playing JannLee. It'd be interesting to see whether most zh players are willing to adapt to this playstyle.

If I could make another suggestion, it would also be really good to be able to premove other piece promotions. Currently you can only premove piece promote to Q, but it'd be awesome to have the option to select N/B/R as well. It's been pretty normal to have zh games where N promote is needed.

And also regarding the piece jail behaviour, would it be possible to make premoves with pieces that you're not currently holding? So to show in the jail that you have 0 pawns, but you can still premove with that P.

Thanks,
Just want to say, thanks for making the fixed piece jail happen - really appreciate it.
