Browser Game : get rid of mouse ... keyboard only

It would be fantastic to be able to play the browser game with keyboard only.


eg. opens "Go by coordinates" ... but then you have to click in the field. Better would be : focus in first field ... enter X coordinates manually ... 'tab' switch between X & Y fiels by key 'tab' ... 'enter' activates : Go-TO or cancels.



eg.2 : when clicking on a town for attack : it takes ages to select army by mouse .... better make it keyboard oriented

a/A : attack

r/R : Raid

e/E : espionage 

'esc' close

i/I : information

b/B : bookmark (landmark)


eg 3 : attack screen : 

first focus = Hero 

'space' select / unselect

'tab' next field : Inquisitor -> Striker (but the numercial field, not the slider)

'shift''tab' previous

while in keyboard mode / sliders are ignored

Good thoughts.


If it helps ... click in a number box, type in the number you want, press Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C.


Then, next time you come to the same box, click in it to enter a number, then press Ctrl-V.


I use this frequently when yielding. e.g. I know the number of troops I need to entirely capture a 1M stone or lumber camp. When sending out 14 marches, retyping or selecting things and dragging them gets old - to your point.


The same idea works for sending the same message to multiple people. Type your message, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, send, pick next recipient, Ctrl-V, repeat.


Cut and paste does not work between inside and out of the browser, as you likely know. But it does work within the browser - something easily lost sight of.


Cheers.
