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!
I agree this would be very useful to be able to zoom through texts using the keyboard only working on my unknown and learning words. I can't wait for this update to get implemented, it will be amazing!

I'm thinking of committing to Language Crush.

Shortcuts are extremely important.

Known, ignore and next page (stop hiding the controls).

Getting rid of the highlighted word area using ESC would be helpful. Or better if you don't cover the page controls.



Less important:

A shortcut for "next highlighted" word would help.

I can't see dark green highlighted text on some screens so changing it would help. 


Working better on android would be great.


There are some half-shortcuts.

SOMETIMES right and enter goes to the next page. Not when a word is highlighted. Please make it always work (ideally using control right or page down).

////

Currently, on android, you can tab through areas and get some value.

go to a tab stop (press tab) and press enter or space.

If tab stop 1 is the 3 line menu

tab 2 passage statistics [could this have it's own shortcut please?]

3

4 edit passage

5 3 dots

7 play

8 speed

9 full screen

10 last screen[could this have it's own shortcut please?]

11 Next screen [could this have it's own shortcut please?]


Number of words read in a day would be great. It's a primary statistic.

You updated the app but didn't add these. That's worrying.

Note how old this thread is. The other change was out before you posted, but delayed in a migration issue. We solved the migration issue. Please be patient; we haven't discussed your requests yet, and it takes time to release stuff.

What do you mean by hiding the controls? Can you provide a screenshot?

Known words are skipped now by the right and left arrow keys. Is that what you mean?

I confirm that this update is awesome and works great for me on Chrome. Your android app is really good too, thanks for your hard work.
