I'm trying to use this website and switch over from LingQ but I noticed right away there are no keyboard shortcuts to make marking words Known or Ignored right away, nor a way to go to the next word with the arrow keys. Please add this ability or let me know if it's a feature I don't know how to do yet. Thanks!

Welcome back Stewart. We don't have these features. Can you describe in detail how you would like these to work? Like, which keys would you like for shortcuts, and would you want all four arrow keys to work?

Thanks very much!
Left and Right arrow keys – move to the previous/next highlighted word
k – mark the word as known
x – "ignore"
s – play the automatically generated text-to-speech audio
On a unknown highlighted word:
Up and Down arrow keys – move up or down in the list of hints and dictionaries
Enter – select first recommended definition
I'd also suggest that when selecting a definition for a new word, the red unknown highlighted word should turn green to signify you've seen it before and it's now a "Learning" word.
Thanks - I forwarded your suggestions to the tech team.

Totally agree with Stewart :) very needed
I hope you have a nice day! Native: Spanish 🌺
Hello! Did any of this get implemented or are there any plans on doing so? Especially "k" for known would be extremely helpful to me :)
Hi Sarah. This is still sitting in our inbox - we are running behind, unfortunately. I added your note to the ticket.Sarah.H wrote:Hello! Did any of this get implemented or are there any plans on doing so? Especially "k" for known would be extremely helpful to me :)

Ok, this is what we have now:
enter: use most popular definition
left, right to move left or right
space replay word definition audio
u → unknown
l → learning
k → known
i → ignore
Does it work for you?

@leosmith Omg, I've only seen this now! This is awesome! Now languagecrush is perfectly usable for me :) It would be great if I could see the shortcuts somewhere in the reading tool (maybe on hover?), but they are also very easy to remember. Thanks so much for implementing!!
After using this a bit, the only thing missing to me is that the left and right keys jump to the next word that is highlighted (so either unknown or learning words) and skipping every word that is either set to ignore or known. Thanks :) Otherwise this is already very good!

Hi Sarah - we couldn't reproduce this. Can you provide a link to a passage it happens on?Sarah.H wrote:After using this a bit, the only thing missing to me is that the left and right keys jump to the next word that is highlighted (so either unknown or learning words) and skipping every word that is either set to ignore or known.

Hey, I am not sure if I was clear in my request!
I would like to have an additional shortcut - so that the next word selected is either a word that is currently set as "learning" or a word that is "unknown". Otherwise you have to rush through all the known words in which you don't need a translation. So I would like to change the behaviour of the right arrow key, so that it never selects words that are known. Or is this the behaviour that should be already implemented? If yes, it doesn't work like this for me in any passage.
Hope it's clearer now and thanks for looking into it!
Ah ok, I get it now. That is not per design, but I'll update the ticket.
