barmar Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 There's an option in settings for keyboard entry of bidding, is that what you're talking about? I don't think we have any other keyboard shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citybadger Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Keyboard shortcuts are important for some people with disabilities and some elderly. There should be a complete set of shortcuts for site navigation, bidding, and playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhcole Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I came looking for keyboard shortcuts because sometimes the trackpad on my laptop stops working mid-game. I could attach a mouse, but a few keyboard shortcuts would be very helpful. You can idiot-proof them (somewhat) using Ctrl or Alt, to prevent the cat from bidding for you...... I tried to find out about the keyboard bidding/play setting, but couldn't find anything. Is there documentation on this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanmaz Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Please, maks key shortcuts. Old OKB had has this for more than 15 years. Shouldn't be a problem for BBO. Regards BentThere is already a perfect solution : “BBOalert” browser extension Installation Firefoxhttps://addons.mozil.../addon/bboalert Installation Chromehttps://chrome.googl...lkeemegdhehnlcf The basic functions of BBOalert :- recording of alerted bids. Recorded bid explanations are then automatically retrieved when the same bidding situation occurs. You don’t have to repeat the same explanation.- you can define keyboard shortcuts This is only the top of the iceberg. There are many sophisticated features with only one aim : to automate as much as possible the alert procedure. For more information, see the project page : https://github.com/stanmaz/BBOalert You are welcome to join the users group on Facebook : https://www.facebook...06384146770707/ If you have any questions, contact me by mail : stanmaz.git@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbb483 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I don't use it myself - but the programmer in me promptly asks 'does it reset when the opposition changes?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanmaz Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I don't use it myself - but the programmer in me promptly asks 'does it reset when the opposition changes?'BBOalert allows to enclose portions of code in optional blocks (like functions in a computer program) which can be enabled or disabled. This can be done manually in function of opponents' system or automatically for seat- or vulnerability-dependent openings. In the same file you can define which conventions are you playing with which partner and select them all at once. Skeleton of code where you play ACOL with John and Standard American with Joe and where you use two different defences for the 1NT opening : Option,system ACOL,John... code for ACOL systemOption,system SAYC,Joe... code for SAYC systemOption,vs1NT 12-14... code for the defence against weak NTOption,vs1NT 15-17... code for the defence against NT Installing BBOalert does not cost you much : just one click. Consult the README file on the project page. You will see how versatile is the tool. If you find, that some aspects of alerting on BBO are not covered, let me know.
