Usage tips

Foreword

This guide makes most sense if you have a keyboard. 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 it is you're typing. It doesn't work everywhere, 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.
