Feature Request: Toggle option for overriding Ctrl+F (Find in PGN vs. Default Browser Search) • page 1/1 • L1Chess Tools Users Team • lichess.org

Hi! Thanks for all the incredible work on LichessTools.

Currently, pressing Ctrl+F triggers the internal PGN/Move search on Lichess. While this is very useful for exploring games, it completely overrides the browser's default page text search. Sometimes, I just want to search for plain text on the current webpage (like comments, user notes, or UI text).

Would it be possible to add a toggle setting to disable the Ctrl+F shortcut override? That way, users who prefer using the standard browser search (Ctrl+F) can do so without losing access to the rest of LichessTools' features.

Thank you for considering this addition!

The Ctrl-F shortcut is bundled with all of the other shortcuts. You can disable them all, if you want: https://siderite.dev/blog/lichess-tools---user-manual/#keyShortcuts

I will add your request to the list, but I don't know when I will get around to it, @TarouChess .

Thanks for considering adding this to the improvement list!

By the way, I wanted to ask about using the "one-click move" feature in actual live games. Does performing moves via script automation like this violate Lichess's Terms of Service / Fair Play Policy regarding external tools?

I’d love to know your thoughts on whether it’s safe to use in live matches or if it should strictly be limited to single-player modes like Puzzle Storm.

I raised the issue of one click move with Lichess, because - as it's a disabled people feature - I thought it should be native to Lichess, not just LiChess Tools. They never replied. I asked if one click move would be an issue. No one replied. In order for someone to blame you for using one click move they would have to see you do it, so how would that work? Maybe don't use it while streaming.

Personally I think that if click speed wins games, it's not a chess issue.
