Feature request - just use keyboard to play

[kwccoin]

I am working on another solitaire here which do not use the mark key to move cards. It is much faster. Not to go the mouse way, really keyboard based.

The idea is that there are piles and hence why not just use

w-waste
s-stock

foundation f1 f2 f3 f3
piles 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

move can be

a) w1 for w to 1, c1f1 ...
b) the original programmer use above but I think it could be just use alternative so that you do not even need to leave the home keys mostly (except s/w and other "menu" command")

w-waste
s-stock

piles asdfghk
foundation kl;'

now to move is
-wa for waste to pile a
-wk for waste to foundation k
-ak for piles a to foundation k
-# e.g. 12 detect or "collect via keyboard event" then it will mark 12 cards

That would be much faster. Not that windows based. What you think?

Hi @kwccoin,

I have an entry for a similar idea in TODO.md. I haven't developed it much though.

Feature request - just use keyboard to play

To be clear, the current game implementation is played exclusively through the keyboard.

If I remember correctly (not in front of pc), the keyboard try to mimic a select-mark etc. It is like a keyboard version of mouse-click game.

A more simplified keyboard version with the graphic would be nice.

Good to hear that is in the pipeline.

I really like OP's idea; it makes card movements faster and imo more intuitive.
Also it is just fun to use this action-movement vim-style bindings;)
