Subject: sgt-puzzles: loopy isn't very (keyboard) control friendly
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:48:44 +0200
Package: sgt-puzzles
Version: 8605-2
Severity: minor
Hi!
Technically this might be considered as a wishlist, but given that many
other sgt puzzles do work greatly with keyboard only an improvement in
this area would be a great help.
If that gets too complicated (because of the various different forms
that are choosable) it would be a great help if it doesn't require a
right-click. Other puzzles in the package allow things like shift-click
or ctrl-click for special stuff, only in loopy such a workaround isn't
possible and given that my PowerBook only has one button and that
tapping with two/three fingers isn't very convenient for wanting to do a
quick game I really would like to see some improvements in this area.
Thanks in advance for thinking about a solution. :)

In the Gtk front-end (and OS X and Windows), Alt-click or Option-click
works like right-click in all puzzles, and has done since before I
created this package. But that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere
but the VCS changelog.
