How to premove a capture?

I discovered the activate premove setting in the setting section but it does not work for capture moves. Assuming I'm playing white and the game goes like 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4

Now I would like to premove Nf3 -> d4 so it captures back with minimal time consumption if my opponent decides to play 3. ... cxd4. The game just ignores my premove though, and in other situations I can't even premove a capture of my opponents piece if the square is occupied by my opponents piece instead of mine.

Is it just impossible to premove a capture on this website (so you can only premove to an empty square)? That would make premove impossible in like 90% of the cases it would be useful. Or am I too stupid and missing a setting that has to be toggled on?

Premoves are just moves to squares, so if you move a piece to the square where a piece would be captured, it will happen if the move is still legal.

Thank you! I don't know why it didn't work previously but it works now!
