{"ops":[{"insert":"I love the ability to only use keyboard and have been striving to do this with most of my applications.\nI added about 200 cards last night to my collection and here's my flow:\nClick in Search Field to start.\nType card name until it comes up"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"arrow key to select, enter to have it select the set and foil (love this)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Shift+Tab to go back in the tab order to quantity (this is how my brain works, card then quantity)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"change quantity"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"double-check everything and click enter (I kept my mouse on the enter button so I only had to click it, not move it)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"After Clicking Enter, Shift+Tab puts me back into the search field"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"If I need to modify the set, foil, or other options, I tab over, use arrow enters to select between steps 4 and 5.\n\nI'm mostly happy with this and can add a card in 2-3 seconds usually if the set is correct and I only have 1.\nI'm not opposed to a redesign, this is must my opinion, but might be better with a few tweaks.\n\nSome issues and thoughts I encountered were:\nlike the OP, I can't enter without clicking.

{"ops":[{"insert":"I would really like a way to add cards without the mouse too. \n\nThe best way I have found is to first make the deck.

6 years{"ops":[{"insert":"Ohhhh boy here we go,\n\nSo it's funny that you bring this up now, because we (myself and the other other developer working on this) go back and forth on whether or not this should be a thing constantly lol. We've even had discussions about removing enter to open the side panel completely because (I think) it can be annoying when you're not expecting it to open. So obviously, the other developer will be quite happy to read your comment :D. \n\nWe haven't come to any final decisions on this yet, but so far this is what we've come to. The reason the enter key opening can be annoying is when it happens unexpectedly. So what we're thinking is a way to disable hot keys on a user to user basis based on settings each user can set in their account settings. This way it's possible to make everyone happy. \n\nNow, the only problem with this, is that it'll take quite a bit more work to get really right than just adding key listeners everywhere. The upside of course being, that if we do it right it'll make it a lot easier to add extra key listeners like you're asking for. Unfortunately, there are only two of us working on this; so this feature is probably not going to done in the very near future (could be wrong, things change). \n\nThat said, I'm glad you took the time to write this out because it shows us that (at least a few) people are enjoying the hot keys. I'll make sure that the other developer sees your comment, it'll make his day that someone is taking his side lol.\n\nThanks again,\nMichael\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Please inform him that there are at least 2 of us (surely more, cuz not all nerds are as vocal). \nAs an example of how into this idea I am: It takes 5 presses of the TAB key to get from a newly entered category name to the \"Create\" button.\n\nThe mouse is woefully slow.\nExcellent work, though. All my decks go here, now.\n"}]}
