Anyway, this is wiki.

"Flatten" command
- Who
- okvonnegut
- Description
- I know I can export a .sgf of the current position but I'd like a way to make the current position the start position. That is, flatten a number of moves into a single node. To do it now I have to export position to sgf and then load that sgf anew... But then I would still lose subsequent moves.

An command to clear all markup
- Who
- okvonnegut
- Description
- A way to clear all markup from the board in one go. Useful when editing problems or with files that have the move numbers hardcoded into them as labels. Possibly also a "clear all markup from the entire file" to save me from having to do it on every move.
- Status
- Requested
More key bindings
- Who
- okvonnegut
- Description
- For example the ability to set key bindings for the various annotations under "insert ..." with a single key combo. Or a key binding to insert a specific comment. This would also make it easier and faster to input problems from other sources such as pamphlets or books.
- Status
- Requested
Square size selecteable
- Who
- Pimenta
- Description
- Larger squares marking territory and prisioners in the end of the game make it easier to perceive the amount of territory each player had. Could this square size be user-defineable?

GNU Go commands available in a specific toolbar

"Minimize" board for printing diagrams.
- Who
- Malweth, okvonnegut
- Description
- When printing diagrams (especially tsumego) the whole board is printed. Most of the board is empty. It would be nice if you could specify how small to shrink the printed section of the board, based on where the stones are placed. You could specify having 1-19 blank lines around the stones (19 default, prints whole board). This would improve printing tsumego and allow more problems per page.

- Requested

instead of B1)

Remember new game creation in new file or current file
- Who
- Michal
- Description
- When a new game is created, there is the option to create it in a new file, or in the current file. Drago could remember the option which was chosen last. (so when creating a file of tsumego problems, one has to click one time less for each tsumego :]) (version 2.12).

Extended stone setup mode
- Who
- Evgeny
- Description
- MFGo like (clicks give the following sequence: setup stone -> swap color -> remove stone) or MultiGo like (left and right clicks).
- Status
- Available in 2.20
TimK: If it's not too late for input, I prefer MultiGo style - you don't have to go back to the toolbar to switch colors.
Gilles: Both are implemented, first one being optional.
Tooltips for buttons in second toolbar
- Who
- Michal
- Description
- When the cursor is held over a button, after a short time a box appears with the button's function. However, this does not happen with the second toolbar, the one with move navigation, undo, cut, game, color, markup, insert, and new game (version 2.12).
- Status
- Fixed in 2.20
Navigate to specific move
- Who
- TimK

Get rid of popup dialog
- Who
- TimK, olesch, Pimenta
- Description
- When I accidentally try to play a stone on top of another stone, Drago gives a popup error message. It's annoying to have to click okay on it, and then go back to what I was doing. A beep would probably be enough to tell the user he made a mistake.
- Status
- Available in 2.20
Read only mode
- Who
- wildclaw
- Description
- It would be nice to have a toggle that disables editing of a game. That way it would be possible to move through variation, without accidently adding your own path. It should preferably be specific for each tab.

ghost stones.
