Double Solitaire Keyboard Shortcuts

Your Double Solitaire playing screen shows the card columns, each with a letter above from tack has the letter S above it. These letters in combination with M, P, T, U and period (.) give you a set of shortcut keys which let you play Double Solitaire from the keyboard instead of using the mouse. An experienced keyboard player can play much faster than an opponent using only a mouse.

The shortcut keys are case-insensitive, i.e., both upper and lower case versions of an alphabetic key work the same. They do not require an Enter key.

The following table shows the usage of these keys:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G These keys by themselves will move the current top of the stack to column A through G, only if that move is valid for the particular card on the top of the stack. To move the card from the top of the stack to column E, type E. These keys are also used in conjunction with the P (play), M (move) and T (turn over) keys..
S The S key by itself turns over the next three card from the deck onto the stack. If the P key is typed before the S key (i.e., PS), the card on the top of the stack is played into the play area (assuming this play is valid at this point).
P The P (play) key is used in conjunction with a column key (A-G) or the stack key (S) to play a card into the play area. The play is executed only if valid. The P key is always followed by one of the other keys. For instance, to play the top displayed card on column D, type PD. To play the top card on the stack, type PS.
M The M key is used to move the cards from one column to another. It only works on the displayed cards and only if the move is valid. The M key must be followed two keys, the first is the column from which the card(s) will be moved. The second key is the column to which the cards are to be moved. For instance, to move from column F to column A, type MFA. If multiple cards are being moved from a column, the M key will automatically figure out how many to move
T The T key is used to turn over the top undisplayed card on a card column after the displayed card(s) have been moved or played off if it. For instance, to turn over the top card in column B, type TB.
U The U (undo) key undoes the last move between columns, from stack to column or turnover of the stack. It does not undo the last card played (once it's gone, it's gone).
. The period (.) lets you enter the chat mode. You can also do this from the Chat option in the menu to the lower right hand corner. To exit chat, type the Escape key or click with the mouse outside of the chat area.
