KGS Hotkeys Wishlist
MK These changes would have made my life a lot easier during the go congress. I was using cgoban extensively on my laptop, but i had no mouse, just the touchpad, which was bringing me to tears sometimes.
When CGoban works as sgf editor:
- ctrl-x
- cut
- ctrl-v
- paste
- shift-ctrl-arrow-up
- move a branch up (works like shift-up from the drop-down menu)
- shift-ctrl-arrow-down
- move a branch down
- ctrl-s
- save game
When CGoban works as client
- ctrl-n
- open a new game; in this window:
Keys needed to change tabs in main (room) window and in simul window.
- Hyperlinks
- Often during discussion while watching a game in progress, beginners become confused by the wealth of Go terminology that become second nature as players gain experience. I suggest a hot-click feature, where you highlight a term or terms in the text of chat, click on it, and your browser (or a pop-up browser window of the client) opens to that term if it's found in any of several on-line Go sources (Client Options menu, choose your favorite) such as SL, or any other that people suggest. Multiple words can be concatenated together, with punctuation dropped, etc - that's simple. If the term isn't found, allow the destination to handle it - SL's "Do you want to create it?" page, or perhaps at another site, whatever their 404 page is. --Oryx
