Agreed. seems to work better with the side panel open. It is much better than it was a couple weeks ago though
We pushed some updates and fixes regarding this. But still looking into user reports and try to make further improvements. Should work much better soon!

The only issue that still persists here on Google Chrome for Windows 10 seems to be that using the keyboard arrows to navigate to a word which has been saved in a sentence with two or more words grouped together causes the keyboard to lose its functionality completely, forcing me to refresh the page to make it work properly again. Quite time-consuming and distracting.
It is, indeed, much better than two or three weeks ago, though, as Robert pointed out.
K now works for me. Great, thanks.
Firefox, desktop, PC.

Wanted to 1+ this issue, still super flakey for me on MacOS Chrome and Firefox. I’ve noticed sometimes it’s when I arrow onto a LingQ composed of multiple words. Idk, I could be mistaken.

Again today I’ve had to refresh the page ≈3 times while reading for about 15 minutes. It’s definitely when encountering LingQs composed of other LingQs. Please look into this bug, as someone who pretty much only uses the keyboard shortcuts for LingQ’ing it makes the site very irritating to use.

I asked our team to look into this again, thanks for reporting.
I am unable to use any keyboard shortcuts when reviewing vocab using Brave or Chrome. Has anyone found a fix or a way around this issue?

I’ve found that if an arrow key stops working, if I press Shift and Arrow together, it will work.
Then eventually the arrow goes back to normal.
Let me ask a few questions:
@RowanSumner Do you mean the “Option/Alt + right arrow”, “Enter”, “Tab”, and “1,2,3,4” shortcuts in the Review Activities?
@jt23 Do you also mean shortcuts in the Review Activities, or in the Reader? What browser do you use?
Is this happening to you permanently or after some actions were done?

The Reader, I believe. I only use Sentence View. With the Brave broswer.
I suspect there’s a pattern to it, though I haven’t noticed it yet.

Confirming here that this is still a problem and only happens in sentence view. Keyboard shortcuts stop working when there is a lingq phrase selected by navigating to it using the arrow keys. I’ve been fixing it by refreshing the page but I’m going to try the method mentioned above.
Devs, if you want to try to reproduce the problem:
- Be in sentence view, this has never happened to me the main reader mode.
- Have a multi-word lingq in the sentence, 2 or more words as a grouping.
- When you arrow into that grouping using the keyboard it usually breaks all keyboard shortcuts and you will have to refresh the page to get keyboard functionality back.
It seems random whether or not it will break, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. It must depend on some other factor, I thought it might have to do with different rankings (1-4, known) on the words being inside the phrase lingq or something like that… I’ve had the problem happen once, refreshed the page then arrowed to the same grouping of 2 words together and it didn’t break so something weird is going on for sure. This bug is constantly happening for me so it would be amazing if it can be fixed.

Is there somewhere I can learn about the keyboard shortcuts? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Thanks.

I agree. I use Firefox Developer browser. Sometimes they work, more often than not they do. They come in very handy when they work. It often drives me back over to the iOS app for reading text.

True. Definitely check the CapsLock…
However, if CapsLock is off and the arrow keys still don’t work, I find that Shift-LeftArrow or Shift-RightArrow usually will restore the arrow key function.
Later the arrow key may return to normal. I don’t know why.
i see, i dont know either…
