If you do not have a mouse connected or just prefer to use the keyboard when handling the game, the user interface comes with an optional set of keyboard controls. Most of these should be fairly intuitive if you are used to controlling your system with the keyboard.

When appropriate, space or enter will confirm a selection, an entry, or close a dialog.

In the same vein esc will cancel a selection, close a dialog or exit the game.

On the title screen, use arrow up/down to select an option and space or enter to confirm. Alternatively, use these shortcuts to access the individual options directly:

- h tutorial
- t top scores
- s settings
- a about
- esc exit
- space or enter play

In a dialog:

- arrow left/right select tab
- shift + arrow left/right select tab in the bottom row
- digits 1 - 0 open corresponding tab

All elements of a dialog have keyboard shortcuts for easy access. Hold alt/option to see what shortcuts are active for the current dialog.

This is the underlined character in the element name and pressing it will have different effects on different types of dialog elements:

> checkbox: toggle with shortcut

> dropdown: open with shortcut, select with arrow up/down , confirm with enter

> text field: activate with shortcut, jump between fields with tab , confirm with enter

> button: activate with shortcut. A button with no visible shortcut is activated by pressing either esc or enter , whichever makes sense

Some dialog elements, mainly in the gameplay dialog, come with helpful information texts. To view these with the keyboard, hold shift while pressing the element's shortcut to toggle its information text on or off. To see which elements come with additional information and the shortcuts to use, hold shift + alt/option .
