-This game is played with the mouse.
+This game is played with the mouse or cursor keys.
-Left-click any edge to toggle it on or off, or click and drag to draw
-an entire rectangle (or line) on the grid in one go (removing any
-existing edges within that rectangle).
+Left-click any edge to toggle it on or off, or left-click and drag to draw
+an entire rectangle (or line) on the grid in one go (removing any existing
+edges within that rectangle). Right-clicking and dragging will allow you
+to erase the contents of a rectangle without affecting its edges.
+
+Alternatively, use the cursor keys to move the position indicator
+around the board. Pressing the return key then allows you to use the
+cursor keys to drag a rectangle out from that position, and pressing
+the return key again completes the rectangle. Using the space bar
+instead of the return key allows you to erase the contents of a
+rectangle without affecting its edges, as above.
When a rectangle of the correct size is completed, it will be shaded.
will be done for you automatically; so sometimes when you uncover a
square, a whole new area will open up to be explored.
+You can also use the cursor keys to move around the minefield.
+Pressing the return key in a covered square uncovers it, and in an
+uncovered square will clear around it (so it acts as the left button),
+pressing the space bar in a covered square will place a flag
+(similarly, it acts as the right button).
+
All the actions described in \k{common-actions} are also available.
Even Undo is available, although you might consider it cheating to
a number, or when you left-click and press space. Right-clicking and
pressing space will also erase pencil marks.
+As for Solo, the cursor keys can be used in conjunction with the digit
+keys to set numbers or pencil marks. You can also use the 'M' key to
+auto-fill every numeric hint, ready for removal as required.

constantly as you drag it, to stay pointed at its parent dot.)
+You can also use the cursor keys to move around the grid squares and
+lines. Pressing the return key when over a grid line will draw or
+clear its edge, as above. Pressing the return key when over a dot will
+pick up an arrow, to be dropped the nest time the return key is
+pressed; this can also be used to move existing arrows around, removing
+them by dropping them on a dot or another arrow.

press 0, Space, Backspace or Enter to clear it again (or use the Undo
feature).
+You can also move around the grid with the cursor keys; typing a digit will
+fill the square containing the cursor with that number, or typing 0, Space,

+or clearing by using the return key, before typing a digit to fill in the
+highlighted squares (as above).
