I don't think a lot of people know about keyboard entry. Its not useful ordinarily, but when your mouse dies it starts to look good.

However, I have found that when I have keyboard entry on, I experience difficulties like chat may not appear, bbo slows down...and of course, if typing chat and its suddenly your turn, and you happen to type something that'll command a card to fly out...

How do we undo with keyboard shortcuts? I'm assuming mouse is totally dead. So,

1) will need a way to enable keyboard entry if its not already enabled.

2) will need a way to undo, claim, alert bid, all with keyboard entry.

Are these currently possible?

Thanks

Rain

If you are using Windows, you can enable the keyboard entry using MouseKeys. Open control panel, then Accessibility Options. Click on the Mouse tab and select Use MouseKeys. You can also use this to make your alerts and bids, but it will probably be to inconvenient.

Undo= control-u
Claim=control-c
Alert prev bid = control-a
When bidding box is up, "a" will toggle the alert button

BBo is not particularly keyboard-friendly and I would be surprised if you could navigate through the tables, lobby, etc without a mouse.

I had to - wasn't too bad but it was a total pain to CHAT and private message people. lolol

I "accidently" turned off my mousepad. Oops.
