Skritter Speed

Because skritter is now so much faster I'm noticing I spend a lot of time moving to the bottom right and clicking "Next" every second. Using the spacebar is fine, but inconvenient. I would like me able to single click after I correctly write a character/tone to move to the next character.

HOWEVER! I would not like this to work if I wrote a character's tone wrong, otherwise I would skip past it before realizing I was wrong. Perhaps a delay could also work.

I think this would definitely increase everyone's review/minute ratio, and would mean incorrect answers would be more noticeable, as you would have to break your pattern to move to the next review.

Mmmh...For me the combination mouse + keyboard works, I usually spend 3 to 5 seconds for a character that I know (with a rather slow connection).
The question is: is anything that allows us to go faster better?

Good idea, ZachH. I'll plan on trying out "click to continue" action with a slight delay on incorrect tones. I think I'll need to change the cursor (to a "next"-like arrow), though, so will have to wait for George to get back to design that up for us.

壁, indeed. 壁rz.

the "click to continue" sounds good to me
