Would it be possible to have a check box to the right of the piece selection for pieces to keep? The box would be automatically checked (and greyed-out to prevent from being unchecked) when the piece is on the board for setup.

As for reverting a cell on the capture matrix to empty, perhaps that could be done by simply clicking on the space when the piece selected is already there? Or with a right-click? Or by putting a Hole in that spot, and then double-clicking the hole?

Tangentially, maybe the "more rules" section could also include a box to specify Royal piece(s)?

Another tangent: Is there any way to add graphics to this? Besides not seeing an antelope, bison, or buffalo, I'm surprised to see zebrabishop but not zebrarook or zebraqueen (or camelqueen, while I'm at it). There are a handful of others in Short Sliders and other games that just don't fit with any of the existing graphics.
