Hotkey help

Fenway · 06-30-2009, 12:49 PM

My aging hands can't take lots of mousing, so I'm trying to figure out how to make OOTP more keyboard-friendly. I use bookmarks (and the associated function-key hotkeys), but I still have some questions:

1. I can't seem to make bookmarks during game-play mode. In particular, I wish I could hotkey between BNN Widgets and my team's Substitutions pages, as those are the two pages I use the most. Is there any way to do this?

2. Is there a way to read my "mail" with the keyboard? The arrow keys scroll the list, but I can't find a way to open one message and then move to the next. E.g., enter key, down-arrow key.

3. Are hotkeys on Marcus's to-do list? If I had my druthers, I'd have a default hotkey for every significant page in the game, using CTL-key combos if need be. For a text-based game, there sure seems like a lot of mousing, and mousing hurts my hand.

1. and 2. are things that I have also wished for in the game but are not available. I cannot comment on 3. except to say that I sympathize.
