In Snap!, GP and MicroBlocks there's a pretty powerful keyboard interface to assemble blocks. I use it all the time instead of dragging blocks. Check out page 115 of the Snap! reference manual here: https://snap.berkeley.edu/snap/help/SnapManual.pdf

Jens Mönig implemented keyboard input for both GP and Snap!, so the same hotkeys will work on both. Since we're using GP for the MicroBlocks GUI, the same will also work on MicroBlocks.

Thanks, that looks exactly like what I was missing! Will try that out sometime soon! In my defense, "page 115 of a pdf file" is not typically indexed by search engines afaik ;)

Yup, totally. Power feature discoverability is not where we shine... :p
