Alt-* keybinding is confusing

Issue #131 duplicate
max created an issue

Hi!

Playing the "Country of citizenship" game and discovering it was requiring more investigation than I had to give it, I tried to come back to the wikidata-games main page by the use of Firefox short-key for "previous page": Alt-{Left Arrow}

Unfortunatly, this seems to be mapped to clicking the left button in the game, leading me to make 8 totally blind statements (+3 to test my hypothesis of what was happening), all recorded in my historic (20th june 2014 at 11:46)

I don't know if we are many to use this short-key but it might make this key combination unavailable for the game: you might want to remove it, or put a reminder under the buttons to make this kind of confusion less likely.

Otherwise, is there an easy way to revert several changes? If not, having a X button per statements at http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/#mode=settings would just be the dream

Thanks for the awesome tools!

    This seems like a dupe of #57 (I assume the use of Alt is irrelevant here; the effect should be the same using only the arrow keys). If so, can you mark it as a duplicate? And comment there with the suggestion to make the shortcuts visible in the interface, that's a good one.

    As for reverting (please keep issues separated, btw), see #29. You should probably add your implementation suggestion (x buttons in the list of changes) there :)
