Shortcut for grading word

Jose   October 15th, 2011 4:51a.m.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for grading the entire word (not the current kanji)?

I'd like to configure the pen button to grade it as fail (because I know the kanjis but not the entire word). And now I have to do several clicks every time...

If there is no shortcut, it would be possible to add it? Maybe something as "Shift+1", "Shift+2", etc.

It's on my list (along with many other study page keyboard shortcuts), but keyboard shortcuts are hairy so I keep not sitting down and making it happen. It takes more design and thought than we've put into the shortcuts previously, so now we don't have many good shortcut keys left.

Btw is there a shortcut for grading, when using Skritter on Android browser?
Thats where I use skritter the most and I miss the shortcuts from PC browser as without it it takes few extra clicks..

Are you talking about an Android browser on a device with a physical keyboard? I haven't considered that, as most devices just use the virtual keyboards. So the existing PC shortcut keys don't work, then?

Another vote for those per-word shortcuts. That would be very helpful for me when in 'all-keyboard' study mode. (Drawing characters entirely mentally)

But also I want tone shortcuts that aren't confusable with grading ones (or perhaps vice-versa)

How about '/;\ for tones, say?

I also wanted to voice my interest in keyboard shortcuts for entire-word grades. At the moment I mark the first character wrong if I forgot the character composition of a word and require an audio hint (even if I can write each character from memory fine after that audio hint) to mark the word itself wrong, but from what I've read it would be better if I marked the word specific grade in this case. Due to a lack of a keyboard shortcut I rarely do this.

I understand there are limited keys available - maybe just use a single key (~? or Q?) to toggle through the grade for an entire-word.
