5,772 PointsPossible Feature: Shortcuts for Challenges and Quizzes?
Maybe I'm just being lazy, but I would love some keyboard shortcuts for Challenges and Quizzes.
Something for Refresh Preview, Check My Work and Next.
Now, it could be just because I'm mainly a designer and not use to going from typing to mouse, typing to mouse. But being pampered by Photoshop's and Illustrator's keyboard shortcuts may be the cause of this laziness(?)! haha.
Excuses aside, I think it would be pretty handy and efficient. Just my two cents.

1,805 Points+1 this idea. Even a simple CMMD+RETURN for "Check Work" would make me more efficient.

I am astonished, that they don't exist. That seems like an absolute basic

10,343 PointsFor those interested, I use Vimium in Chrome (may be available in FF). It is two 4 keystrokes but helps me to keep my fingers on the keyboard.
- Press f
- vimium finds the next button and highlights the key combination I need to press
- press key combination (by default mine is gf)
- browser goes to next page
