Oh, so the game has to support it. It’s not a player-side thing?

Oh I misunderstood! Yup, as far as I know you have to code it in. Although if you want to go the keyboard route you should be able to hit Tab to highlight the passage link and Enter to select it.

Here’s the way to code it if anyone is curious (thanks Nils!):

<<cont keypress>><<goto 'passage'>><</cont>>

Unfortunately there will be no line in Twine connecting the two passages, so you’ve got to be diligent about placing them in such a way that you can clearly see how players move through it… and making sure you test for link breakage.

In most Twine games, you can use tab-selection if you’re playing in a browser - press Tab and it will highlight the next element (link or button) on the page. This works for normal websites, too - it’s how screen readers work, basically.

Some Twine games do funky things with their formatting or have popin which makes this not work. I don’t like those games.
