I am testing it now.

A past problem that has not changed is trying the keyboard for
Ctrl-Shift-D-3 works maybe.

It does not work as well as any other final number.



Sashami-x has wings, sometimes, skyscraper never has wings.
Have you distinguished them?

Edited to add: Yep! They are correctly identified, all the ones that I have seen. Great work Ruud, as usual!

I found out more about my keyboard problem.

You can hold ctrl-shift-d and tap numbers 1,2 4 or 5 and generate a puzzle.

Tapping 3 does not often work. One need not (should not) hold "d". :oops:

The pop-up menu for generate suggests key-board shortcut ending with "D4", as one example.

That led me to hold the key "d" and that usually does not hinder.
Perhaps the "D"s could be removed from the generate pop-up menu?

You do not need to press the "D" key. When the menu shows "ctrl+shift+D3", you must use Ctrl+Shift+digit 3.

The reason this error only occurs with digit 3 is because the D and the 3 keys use the same wire in the keyboard, preventing the hardware from sending a signal for the 3 keystroke.

Showing my age. :oops:

I never use the number pad.
It didn't/wouldn't occur to me that "D4" did not mean
D and 4 together.

For you youngsters, early keyboards copied TypeWriters, nearly.
(TypeWriter...mechanical thing that beat typeset-letters into a carbon ribbon onto paper.)

Number pads came later, and were sometimes seperate "add ons".

BUT, numberpad does not work at all for a digit in SQ.
I see no reason at all for the "D4" versus "4".
