When using lichess to analyze openings or solve chess studies, one needs to frequently select a position evaluation annotation like = (equal) or +- (white is winning) – much more frequent than Zugzwang or similar symbols; more times than the existing move annotation glyphs (?! ? !! etc.).

Use Shift+1 to Shift+8 for these, analogous to 1 to 6 for the move annotations.

Likely, the help text for move annotations should be changed (no chess player knows what a glyph annotation is, but a move annotation is widely known), but as I am unfamiliar with the i18n system, I'll leave that for a future PR.
