KGS Hotkeys Wishlist

  • Ansgar?: On MacOSX use Command+C/Command+V to copy/insert text instead of Ctrl+C. This is the common shortcut in all MacOSX programs. (Might also be a Java bug?)
  • Also make Command+W close the current window (like pressing on the close button)
  • caraoke?: editable macros on F-keys would be nice. There are stuff said in every single game and sometimes it's a pain to type the same thing again and again.

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:
space
many dialogs do not appear with a default action, for example, the "close" button in the "fan list" dialog is not automatically selected

Keys needed to change tabs in main (room) window and in simul window.

In cloned games

ctrl-r
re-synch the clone, i. e. jump to the node the original game currently is at, to move along with the original moves again



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
  • wayward: Ctrl-W to close game window/room tab; Ctrl-Q to quit (only if it is possible to do a "soft quit", i.e. warn about any open games etc.) Also: CGoban 3 does not seem to honor the -nosplash option.

I think there should be shortcuts for opening your buddy list, viewing your list of games, closing the chat section when watching a game, etc. lots of shortcuts.
