Additional shortcuts for keyboard navigation
It would be nice to make some keyboard navigations. E.g. arrow-left or a for male arrow down or s to skip arrow-right or d for female. It would make the thing even more fast to play in.

Yes, arrow-based navigation would be a nice addition to the current 1-2-3 shortcuts. Maybe ASD as well :)
@cladis please update the title of this issue to read something like "Additional shortcuts for keyboard navigation", for clarity :)

Well we're now discussing what piece of code doing it looks better but in any of them it works so seems that the issue is resolved.

Maybe we could leave this open to discuss whether it would make sense to use the

keys for the flag action (issue#16). That way, the shape of the options would be an inverted T in all cases (the arrow keys, WASD, and in the numpad), and the flag action would appropriately be the one out of the horizontal row. -

reporter Hm it really looks appropriate place for the discussion. Since e.g. I would rather put flagging to p button (''p''roblem). I think if if would be upper donno button one may press it accidentally. Let it be so — (re)opened the issue.

Any of the buttons being pressed accidentally would be a problem (except for the middle one). The fact that it would be in a different row from the main keys could mitigate the possibility of misclicks. Also, if #29 is implemented, this would be less serious :)
In any case we should focus on the position of keys, not their meaning, since that will only hold for at most a few languages (even in English it wouldn't be 100% intuitive, for example I would expect
f
, for flag). -
reporter Hm I though about it and it seems that mispress depend on person very much (where a person keeps his/her fingers and what way press buttons with them) or on person's keyboard. For me vertical mispresses are more likely to happen so I stated that :) Well about the second part you're quite right. And also I take it for granted that the game would have localized interface somewhen and it would make intuition thing even more complicated definitely.

reporter I've had a thought that UP, 5, w would better suit for Back option when issue #29 is fixed.

Why? There's a standard key for that kind of action,
backspace
. It feels much more intuitive to me... And come to think about that, we could usedelete
for the flagging item, since that essentially means "delete from this listing" :) and that does away with the issue of pressing the wrong key by mistake ;) what do you think? -

Ah I've just noticed that it already has shortcats. But I think some extra ones wouldn't harm :)
