If you're on a phone uh... good luck I guess. + +## Autocomplete +This is the most important advice. Autocomplete will make your life so much easier. Not only does it make unnecessary to type long words, it serves as the error checker and a discovery tool. For people unfamiliar with the concept, pressing `Tab` key will make the game try to guess what is it you're typing. It doesn't work anywhere, but it works in most of important places. Failing to complete (no available options) probably means you have an error somewhere in your command. Trying to complete a word without input will show you available options. Play with it for a bit, you'll see how it works. Press `Tab` often. + +## History +Another useful tool in the toolbox. Instead of typing something over and over, just quickly go back to what you have already typed and you don't have to do it again. `PgUp`/`PgDn` keys will scroll the history up and down. If you have anything entered in the chatbox, it will only search history entries that start with the entered text -- useful if you have a prefix to filter by. One such prefix is a slash (`/`) to only search for commands. + +## Chatbox navigation +Just use the browser functionality. `Up` and `Down` keys will move you to the start and end of text, `Ctrl+A` will select everything, after which `Left` and `Right` will do the same, `Ctrl+Backspace` deletes the word, and so on.
