## hotkeys

All hotkeys are rebindable in settings.

| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `F4` | New match (triggers matchmaker if enabled) |
| `F5` | Reload page |
| `F6` | Open matchmaker |
| `F10` | Pause chat (freeze auto-scroll) |
| `F11` | Toggle fullscreen |
| `F12` | DevTools |
| `Ctrl+L` | Copy game link |
| `Ctrl+J` | Join game from clipboard |
| `Ctrl+T` | New tab (hub) |

| `Ctrl+Tab` | Next tab |
| `Ctrl+Shift+Tab` | Previous tab |
| `Ctrl+Shift+T` | Reopen closed tab |
| `Ctrl+1-9` | Jump to tab |

## userscripts

Any `.js` file in the scripts folder will be loaded as a userscript if enabled in settings. Scripts support Tampermonkey-style metadata blocks (`@name`, `@author`, `@version`, `@desc`) and can define custom settings (boolean, number, select, color, keybind).

> **Use userscripts at your own risk.** Do not write or use any userscripts which would give you a competitive advantage.

## custom Electron build

This client uses a custom-patched Electron 42 build to overcome the aim freezing issue present in modern Electron versions. The patched binary is downloaded automatically during `npm install`.

For details on the patch and build instructions, see [Electron-Websocket-Fix](https://github.com/bigjakk/Electron-Websocket-Fix).
