"Press any key to start" is a pretty useless instruction for tablet users without a keyboard.
- shawn-furyan 13y agoArrow keys didn't work for me, so "Press most any key to start"?
- abcd_f 13y agoI always start cautiously, with Ctrl.
- AndreasFrom 13y agoJust pressing the screen worked for me
- luchs 13y agoI'm on IE10, it probably only listens for WebKit touch events then.
- micampe 13y agoRelated, I remembered IBM but turns out it was actually Compaq that had to explain in their FAQ what key the “Any” key was: http://web.archive.org/web/20070627063024/http://www29.compaq.com/falco/detail.asp?FAQnum=FAQ2859 http://web.archive.org/web/20070627063024/http://www29.compa... and apparently at some point they changed the text to say “Press RETURN to continue”.
- oakaz 13y agoHi Luchs, you can also touch the screen; https://github.com/azer/7min.io/blob/master/lib/view.js#L28 https://github.com/azer/7min.io/blob/master/lib/view.js#L28
- luchs 13y agoAh, this doesn't work on IE10 which doesn't implement the touch*-events. It would be nice if you enabled clicking (or added a listener for "MSPointerUp"[1]/"pointerUp"[2], which however would work for mouse as well).
