Keyboard shortcut
-
I'd like to suggest that the developers add a keyboard shortcut for the pass function. I find that in a short game where you need to pass quickly, the pass button can be quite difficult to hit in time due to the small activation area, the fact it only appears during your turn, and the general responsiveness. Perhaps you could simply make the 'P' key initiate a pass. The space bar is another option. Of course, the potential 'P' shortcut should not activate when the typing arrow is on the board lol. I appreciate that you guys made the Esc key recall all tiles to the rack so hopefully you could add this one in as well. Thank you.

@dan thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten about the Esc key! And yes, another keyboard shortcut would be great.

@dan Dan did not know about esc key. Thanks

I think it would be nice if they added keyboard shortcuts for most if not all of the mouse actions. Like for instance, spacebar used to shuffle your rack.
As for passing, I think a better option might be to have a dedicated pass button always visible, because people don't want to accidentally pass if they hit the wrong key!

@dan Thank you for sharing your feedback, We will forward this to our development team for consideration.

@anexparrot Fair points. I know a lot of people were annoyed when the space to shuffle was removed. Never used that myself though. Keeping the pass button always visible (like before) could work. At least then we could prep for a pass a little easier. I'd still like a responsive keyboard shortcut for that though. No messing around with moving the cursor and clicking a small, buggy icon. Just an instant pass when seconds are crucial.

@dan I was just thinking, how about a keyboard-shortcut to resign the game? It could also start recording audio at the same time to be auto-posted here! hahahahahaha

@dan with all the shortcuts, I suppose next would be a shortcut to play the game for us
