Game chat alt-click position feature

[Eugene]

I just discovered that if I alt-click on the game board (Mac) it puts that position into the game chat.

Whoa!

I wonder if this works on windows too… Will be giving this a go when I get home.

@Eugene

it puts that position into the game chat

Co-ordinates you mean, right?

BTW… and OT

You’re a long-time Mac user? Because you wrote “alt” while it’s been “option” for quite some time now … I also still say “Apple+C” etc. instead of “cmd+C”

On Windows, it is Ctrl+click

my macbook has both, though it is 10 years old

The only feature I miss from KGS, which led me to this thread. was the ability to CTRL-click to jump into analyse mode at the point where that stoned was played.
I thought that was really useful.

merely pasting the coordinates onto the chat isn’t a huge time saver

was the ability to CTRL-click to jump into analyse mode at the point where that stoned was played.

This should be implemented for ages. (Maybe it’s Alt or Shift). I’m not sure if it only works when you are in analysis mode thought.

[BHydden]

when in analyse mode, shift clicking a stone will take you to its move in the game… so it’s literally two steps instead of one… right-arrow -> shift+click as opposed to ctrl-click; doesn’t really seem like a deal-breaker to me but we all have our own preferences and priorities.

[shigazaru]

That works nicely ! Thank you very much, I am happy I asked

There’s some other shortcuts/tricks that I was collecting here

Lets update the Shortcuts Docs!

Inspired by the revelation here The all-in-one democratic game. [The game] that you can use custom strings of 3 characters by holding ‘shift’ and clicking the board while on the Letter analysis tool. It makes me feel like there must be so many tricks that I’m missing out on! If you know any maybe we can collect them here and push an update to the documentation here https://github.com/online-go/online-go.com/wiki/Advanced-Tips-&-Tricks#keyboard-shortcuts Basically if you know of any tricks/tip…

and hopefully to update this section in the docs on shortcuts

Advanced Tips & Tricks

SHIFT + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on any stone or intersection (in analyze mode only!) jumps to a move number in which that coordinate was played

It works in reviews too.

I’m in the process of learning how to update things with github. Maybe it’s easier update docs? As in not having to download the whole repo or?

[AdamR]

Oh cool, I missed that somehow.

I would be happy to update the documentation (and will do it later if you don’t ), if you want to test it out yourself it is super easy, you need account at github, but that’s it, no downloading repo, no codint, the whole thing is wiki and there should be an “edit” button upper right, and you edit in in browser - bonus points if you know markdown, but you can figure it out even without the knowledge I am sure

[shinuito]

Sorry I haven’t really had the time today to do it. I do see the edit button you mean now though.
