Command snippets and keyboard shortcuts

Command snippets

Tired of typing the same long console command? Save it as a snippet and insert it with a couple of keystrokes.

Creating a snippet

  1. Go to Account → Command Snippets and click Create.
  2. Give it a short Name, e.g. announce-restart.
  3. Type the Command, e.g. /announce Server restarting in 5 minutes!
  4. Eggs: pick which games it's for. Leave it empty to use it on every server.
  5. Click Create.

Creating a command snippet

Using a snippet

On any server's Console, type ! followed by part of the name, e.g. !ann. Pick the snippet from the list and the command is filled in. Check it, then press Enter to send.

Ctrl+Space Quick actions: jump to any page or action by typing
Ctrl+S Save (files, settings)
Ctrl+K Search files
F2 Rename the selected file
