I'm curious how you play your Ren'Py games.

Do you use these buttons or do you stick to mouse and keyboard buttons for these commands?

Vote on the options that you use.

Keyboard as much as possible, mouse where not

Enyo

mouse as often as possible, keyboard when naming saves and characters or fast forwarding

Right mouse button does that too. I always use that.

Julian Harper

I only use the auto button, otherwise it’s right click for save/preferences and mouse wheel or pgup/pgdown for moving back scenes

Some1Else

I use the keyboard mostly and right mouse menu for saves. So I never use those buttons

Ryuujin76

I only have Android so kind of obvious lol

Gabriel Charest

only mouse ..... cause my other hand is busy

Daniel D. Doe

Just do make sure because the question is a bit ambiguous: I use all the listed functions, but I use keyboard shortcuts (TAB, CTRL, ESC) and right-mouse click and scroll wheel to activate them.

JFR

No mouse or wheel so they are helpful.

kronos13

mouse only and occasionally H to hide the dialog window.

Ritik Sau

Mouse mostly but occasionally keyboard

Beastman

I usually use right and left-click for everything, but occasionally use Q Save/Load and Back buttons. The only keyboard key I use is H.

Steele76

I use many buttons, history, sometimes skip if I've already played that part and is on a second replay, save and sometimes Quick save or q.load . Press many times tough escape to go to the menu.

GhostPhil

I only use the buttons on the Android version

Derp

RenPy is easy system and most important functions are on mouse, so there isnt big need for buttons. As far as I am concerned I only use mouse and CTRL for "skip".

Rob Northman

I've very rarely used the q.save/q.load buttons otherwise it's mouse and keyboard exclusively.

Percy PoAsDo

mouse and keys mostly. sometimes click those buttons. like save n stuff
