There are quite a few really useful keyboard shortcuts available on lesson pages, and some of them are not even completely explained under the “?” symbol in the bottom right corner, so I thought it would be useful to post a little reference guide here:
Navigation:
Left and Right arrow keys – move to the previous/next highlighted word
Shift+Left and Shift+Right – go to the previous/next page
b – jump to the next blue word
(plus) and - (minus) – increase or decrease font size
Space – stop/play audio
On any word (blue or yellow), you can do the following:
k – mark the word as known
x – “ignore”
f – open the preferred dictionary
s – play the automatically generated text-to-speech audio
On a blue word:
Up and Down arrow keys – move up or down in the list of hints and dictionaries
Enter – create a lingq with the selected hint or open the selected dictionary
e – like enter, but additionally opens a popup with the preferred dictionary
h – creates a new (empty) lingq and focuses the “hint” text field
(Shift+f – flags selected hint as wrong)
On a yellow word (lingq):
1, 2, 3, 4 – change the status of the word
h – focus the text field with the hint
t – add a tag
Thank you for the guide! I have a question about keyboard shortcuts in Vocabulary Browser - is there a way to jump to the next word with a keyboard shortcut? (for example j/k) It would greatly help with large vocabulary list, instead of clicking on every word to be able to jump through a list just with a keyboard shortcut
Except Shift+Right also jumps you to the Review LingQs page. This completely ruins the flow of reading, as you have to go to your mouse click out of the page and restart the audio. Any way to avoid this?
