Keyboard shortcuts are representing abbreviations for general functions, like undo or save. They are not bound to a specific input element. Instead, they are received by the superior game view and executed if allowed and possible. Table 8 shows all shortcuts defined:
Key | Function | Remarks |
Alt+Home | Makes the app bar visible and sets the input focus to the first enabled app bar button. | |
Alt+Ctrl+Home | Sets the input focus to the menu button on the title bar. | The title bar is available only on PCs in desktop mode. |
Ctrl+A | Shows the games archive pane. | |
Ctrl+F | Shows the game files pane. | |
Ctrl+H | Shows the online help page associated to the current content of the game view. | The online is available only if an internet connection is active. |
Ctrl+N | Starts a new game. | If the current game state is not saved yet, the user is asked if that should be done or if the current state shall be discarded. It is also possible to cancel the action. |
Ctrl+R | Restarts the current game. | All actions done are reverted. |
Ctrl+S | Save current game state. | The current game state is saved only if it has been changed in any way since loading. |
Ctrl+T | The playing assistant selects that playing card or control element appropriate for performing the next action once only. To confirm the selected action, it is sufficient to press the Enter key or the Spacebar. | If the playing assistant shall always select the next possible action, the associated global option must be checked. |
Ctrl+Y | Repeats the last action reverted. | |
Ctrl+Z | Reverts the last action. | |
Esc | Stops a running animation or lets overlay panes disappear. If a card pile is magnified currently, it will be restored. | The key could be evaluated also by the focused input element. |
F1 | Shows the online help page associated to the current content of the game view. | The online is available only if an internet connection is active. |
