The pause menu has three options: Continue, Retry level, and Back to menu.

Please add hotkeys for these options, it'd be handy to just press esc r instead of esc then click retry

I'd suggest something in the F1~F12 range during gameplay, without the need to pause.
Either way, support. =D

F1 should be retry in that case. so close to esc and all.

I really need them.
Recently I start taiko mod but when I use ↑↓ keys on the pause menu, it changes volume, too.
I want shortcut key for retry. suggest Shift + Enter= retry (pause and result screen). i don't want to use mouse when i play taiko.

Isn't F1 the replay-watch key?
Adding more/changing hotkeys would just lead to confusion.

How hard is it to press Esc and choose retry or whatever you're gonna pick

If you're not gonna use the mouse
Place the cursor in the middle of the screen/window where the retry button is located and press z/x (or whatever your key bindings is)

If players often use added hotkeys, they would adapt them soon, imo.
And if they confuse to select keys, they can ignore them like me, I don't use mod selection hotkeys (HR=A,DT=D,HD=F).
I prefer pressing space key to clicking small skip button for skip song.and pressing hotky > clicking Return button when i failed.
I dont know which is minority but sure new hotkey for pause menu would be more useful than for mod selection.

oh shit you're right.

I still think there should be a quick and easy hotkey access for retry when clicking escape. F5 maybe? Similar to how it refreshes pages on the web.

There are already hotkeys for just about everything else, a few more wouldn't hurt.

This is what I do for taiko.

I don't see why clicking retry would be too much work anyway if you are already using the cursor.
