Hot buttons for PBP mode

[daves]

At least have a pitch or hit hot button, like the number one or return?

I'm 64. I've been using a computer since 1989, probably average about 3-4 hours a day now that I'm retired, 6-9 hours a day when I was still working. I can't imagine you are really having a problem clicking a mouse. That said I believe you, but I just can't understand how that's possible. Sorry, no disrespect intended.

OK, well I'm 54 and have sufferred a sore neck (from a monitor set too high), soreness in both arms (from using the mouse, I used my left hand for 12 years, then had to switch back to my right) and now the sore finger (for two years.) But I've probably used a computer 12-15 hours a day for the past 25 years, at work and at home. I don't do a lot else. May you never suffer chronic pain, but if you should be so unfortunate, perhaps you'll regret that "man up, dude" gratutious comment.

And if you had been thru stage 3 inoperable lung cancer, stage 1 colon cancer and the chemo and radation that go with them as well as having severe arthritis and emphysema you wouldn't worry about that sore finger. If it was possible I would gladly trade with you.

It's fine that you can't imagine it. But he said it does have a problem, and I see no reason why he would lie about, and you don't either, since you believe him. It's just not relevant. Hot buttons on the keyboard is a good idea anyway, regardless of whether the mouse discomfort is imaginable or not.

I empathize with both you having pain, and I hope that your physical pain only decreases and that you both remain healthy.

I like how this turned into an argument about who's sicker haha

This is Clay's fault for letting a bunch of old farts join the forum!

Glad you're still hanging in there. But if I had not switched to clicking the mouse with my thumb, we wouldn't be having this discussion -- I would've been forced to quit playing Baseball Mogul.

Hopefully Clay will come out with some hot buttons, until then I hope your thumb continues to hold up.

Just a bump for a desperately needed feature.

I use PBP mode and play a series at a time. Hot keys are desperately needed. My wrist starts to hurt after over an hour of Sports Mogul.

Hot Keys, please! (posted by a paying customer - I purchased BM through the SM store)

Clumsy work-arounds (for Windows XP, not sure about Vista or 7):
(1) Control Panel/Mouse, swap left and right buttons
(2) Control Panel/Accessibility Options/Mouse, enable Mouse Keys. You then have to turn Mouse Keys on with CTL-left shift-Num Lock. The main thing this does is allow you to use the "5" key on the numpad to left-click. But this is quite awkward if you are mousing right-handed, since the numpad is not convenient for the left hand and it's always a nuisance to switch between mouse and keyboard with the same hand.
(3) Mouse left-handed, where it is easy to use two fingers rather than one to left-click.
(4) Hold mouse crabwise to left-click with thumb. Very awkward to move the mouse.

So, the only one that is similar to a hot key is the Mouse Keys, and the hot key is in the wrong location for right-handed users. Swapping the left and right clicks helps with the sore finger, since it is possible to use either the middle or ring finger to right-click.

It would be so much better to have the space bar = "hit or pitch" and enter key = "skip inning".

Maybe the 15th anniversary edition will have this option and many others??
