I understand that comprehensive keyboard shortcuts are not coming any time soon, but it should be possible to take out 80% of the strain of keyboard entries by a thoughtful use of the 4 arrow keys and the space bar. In both bidding and play. For example, C-D-H-S may be denoted by the L-U-R-D arrow keys. In bidding, pressing the respective arrow tells to "bid at the minimum level of this suit". Thus after 1D on the right, pressing right arrow means "bid 1H". Space bar means Pass. In play, similarly, pressing the Space Bar means "follow with the lowest card in the suit played". Tapping an arrow may mean play the lowest card in the arrow tapped and tapping the arrow in quick succession may mean play the "2nd lowest"..."3rd. lowest", etc. etc. etc.

Everybody on the table knows that I played a singleton because the software plays it too fast ( v 5.2.21). I should have the option of choosing the delay suitable to my own playing speed.

THE SPACEBAR SHOULD BE USED FOR PASS. C,D,H,S KEYS TO BID CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS AND SPADES AT MINIMUM LEVEL. NO JUMP. THOSE SAME LETTERS BY PRESSING CONTROL KEY MEANS A SINGLE JUMP. ESC FOR UNDO IF YOU AT LEAST INTRODUCE THESE CHANGES LIFE WILL BE LESS PAINFUL
