Hi all!
I can’t seem to find the hotkeys list, could someone please share that with me?
I’m also curious: what do you use for keyboard shortcuts on LingQ, and do you make any modifications to your setup?
Thanks

You can jump between not fully known words (yellow or blue) with the left/right arrow keys. Exceeding the last word on a page will switch to next page. The number keys can be used to assign the currently selected suggested translation if none is already there and set/change the known status to the according number. You can change the selected suggested translation using up and down arrow keys. F opens you favourite dictionary searching for the word currently selected and s let’s the tts system read the selected word for you. Space can be used to pause/unpause the audio playback (if there is some). K marks a selected word known, x deletes the saved translation.
Those are the ones I know of.
AFAIK LingQ Keybinds cannot be changed natively.
You can access all set binds here
You could check out Rooster Hotkeys free extension here to modify these bindings and add some new ones.
In terms of what people are using, no clue. Some nice keyboard setups would be good to see.
Are there hotkeys for closing and unfolding LingQ popups? I find it quite comfortable to jump from word to word and look up their meanings but once I want to create a new LingQ I always have to click on the small arrow to unfold the pop-up window, click into the white field for meaning and then click on the small x to continue reading. There is room for improvement…
@JulianiTOgo Not at the moment, but we’ll see if there’s anything that can be done.
If you’re reading on the web browser version you can just hit escape (if I’m understanding you correctly) and it will close the definition pop up window. There’s nothing like this on my iPhone though. I asked for them to make it so if I tap anywhere outside the popup definition box that the box will go away and they said this sounds like a good idea so I’m hoping… really hoping… not checking the app store for an app update daily…
Oh, thanks a lot. I didn’t know about the Esc hotkey.
