Can I use keyboard shortcuts to reply to a friend, chat to table, or chat to kibs in the HTML5 version of the software? It used to be possible in the ancient windows client and more recent Flash versions. CTRL+R, CTRL+T, CTRL+K were the shortcuts. Now it seems that was killed.

It is incredibly annoying to have to click through with the mouse to direct chats to different recipients.

Not sure why the keyboard is easier than mouse, but you do deserve a reply.

Those of us who are disabled and use a pre-prepared set of messages intended only for the table, lobby or tournament, etc. ... would find a prefix of a keyboard shortcut very helpful to properly direct the message, without first having to use a mouse to select the target and/or the chat area.

(ChatAssistant by RogerPf had a facility to direct a message, for the original windows version.)

I would guess that if my topic was something like "Can't figure out how to give more of my money to bbo, please help," support might have actually sent a reply, even if it was something like "sorry, not possible a this time. we are/are not working on it."

It is a good thing that there are now other bridge playing platforms that are being built up quickly and in ways superior to BBO.
