Feature Request: Option to keep board arrows on empty click + Trash icon to clear • page 1/1 • L1Chess Tools Users Team • lichess.org

Hi,

I have a feature request regarding arrow behavior during analysis.

Currently on Lichess, clicking an empty square on the board automatically clears all drawn arrows. Accidental clicks often erase complex drawings during deep analysis, which is frustrating.

Could you consider adding a LiChess Tools option for the following?

Prevent clearing arrows on empty board clicks: Keep drawn arrows visible even when clicking empty squares.

Add a "Clear All Arrows" button: Place a small trash icon outside the board area to clear arrows manually when the above option is enabled.

Thanks for developing this awesome tool!

Thank you so much for adding this to your list!

Just to clarify one detail: this feature would only be needed for Analysis and Study modes.

During actual live games, the current behavior (clearing arrows on empty clicks) is completely fine as it is. It’s specifically during deep study and post-game analysis where accidental clicks cause frustration, so having it available in those modes would be amazing.

Thanks again for your great support!
