Switch keyboard shortcuts to arrow keys

Opened this issue · 1 comments

It's uncomfortable and hand-straining to use the separated D, L, and Delete keys. Instead, it would be better to use the down arrow key to dislike, the right arrow key to like, and the left arrow key to go back. That fits the overall flow of interaction, because liking proceeds to the right, undoing returns back to the left, and disliking is like hitting thumbs down, so the down arrow is intuitive. Additionally, your three fingers can comfortably rest in a row on the bottom three arrow keys to pick colors.

@Keavon This will be coming up very soon as well. The other issue that I'm running into is that now that this project is fairly popular "D" and "L" don't really make sense anymore in the spirit of internationalization.

There are other things that come along with this change such as making sure that "up" and "down" make sense for the animations etc.
