Help
I have been looking to see what the various control characters mean when they are typed. I have found that there is some variation in meaning depending upon where you are when you type them. (Example: ctrl-D means "redeal request" if you are playing, but launches a chat window to some destination if you are kibitzing.) I would like to know what all the characters mean in all contexts.
Is there a posting of this information already? If there isn't, it would be very helpful to have it available as a standalone article in the bridge library (under "Help! How to use this site"). I think I would like to make some suggestions for shortcuts, but it is tough to do sensibly when I don't know what is already there.
Any help?

This is the list of ones I have found....
Control P = opens profile
Control R = reply to last private message
Control S = lobby chat from lobby , but Room chat if in room (see CNTRL-L)
Control B = go back.. from lobby exits BBO (as you), from anywhere else just backs you up, For instance if you are at a table, it exits the table.
Control T = table options (table has to be open)
Control L = chat to lobby (only while at talbe)
Control K = chat to kibitizers (only while at table)
Cntl--D = redeal request if you are playing
Cntrl -U = undo request if you are playing
On my computer, Control D only does something while playing it does not open chat for me while kibitzing.
