I hesitate to always use onClick for functionality because many times, I don't use a mouse. So, is there some other way to code this that allows for keyboard access to the score counters etc?

See the MDN page on keydown for more details.

8,691 PointsThanks! I also realized that I see a lot of onmouseclick - which thankfully is not used as often anymore, but a lot of older code I've seen still assumes use of a mouse.
