Advanced Tips & Tricks
This is a list of those little tricks that can help you navigate OGS a little more effectively.
Numpad 0 Open a searchbar (except for in chat where it just types 0)
LEFT AND RIGHT ARROW KEY Switch to analyze mode (if enabled) and/or scroll through moves
SPACE Starts automatically re-playing moves from the current position onward (speed can be changed in settings)
ESC Returns to the current game position, closing analyze mode or estimate score.
SHIFT + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on any stone or intersection jumps to a move number in which that coordinate was played
F1-F12 Switch to analyze mode (if not already there) and selects a different tool. (Some of these buttons can however be overriden by your browser settings.)
Typing a user's name makes the message highlighted for him/her
Hitting TAB after at least three letters tries to autocomplete a username
By typing #(GAME NUMBER) you can create a neat link to a game
By typing player (PLAYER NUMBER) you can create a neat link to a player's profile.
By starting a message with /me you can make the rest of the line in italics
