Interestingly enough, in the early days of Sryth, his Gmness was actually
toying with adding shortcut keys much in that way as an accessibility
aide, ---- this was before he found out about speed of clicking links with
screen readers, ---- and yes the "other adventures for this location" text
did rather ring a bell, lol!
Beware the Grue!

Hi Michael,
No, what I currently have in mind would not require any guess work as far
as commands and special frazes goes unless it was a password to unlock
something in an adventure. By and large I plan to use a universal command
structure such as typing the word "save" in the command entry box would
save your present location/adventure. Another command like "load" would
restore your adventure to the last checkpoint. Other commands like quit,
help, etc would be equally obvious. In other cases you might be displayed
a list of options or possible actions for that screen like this.
You are standing in the town square.
What would you like to do?
Visit the Church (c)
Visit the Graveyard (g)
Visit the Hotel (h)
Visit the Pub (p)
Other Adventures for this Location (a)
Travel Elsewhere (t)
Enter your choice...
Pressing one of the letters followed by enter would then take you to the
church, graveyard, hotel, pub, etc. It all would be fairly easy to
understand. If you wanted to do something else such as get your stats
typing something like "stats" would show your current stats.
Smile.

I do not mind something like you mentioned. As long as it does not turn
into
the old fashion truly boring and totally frustrating text adventure where
you have to think of the verb or adjective to use to make a movement. I
have
tried those in the past and I give up after a little while. Maybe it is
because I am not that bright or maybe it is because I don't want to put
that
much thought into it. Just don't like those type of games.
