Almost, but not quite. *g* You've found a gamer that writes touch and has taken the effort to get a proper Dovark keyboard and learnt to type on it, and who feel that he's slowed down from what he's doing every time he has to move a hand away from the keyboard over to the mouse (well, Waco tablet as it happens to be.)

Anyway since the provinces arn't layed out in a grid I don't see how this will work. Sure you can 'make' it work, but doesn't seem like that big of an advantage...

Unless you really are a one handed gamer...

The grid-layout was just for demonstration. Basically the rules would be "first press of : sets the currently selected province as the pivotal province, and selects the province due north of the pivotal province. Additional presses of : selects the next (in clockwise direction) province that borders on the pivotal province."

It might be tricky to calculate which province is due north and which is the next clockwise neighbour, but it's not insurmountable.
