Advanced Usage

The following is a collection of assorted tips and shortcuts, intended for power users that want to get the most out of circleguard. Casual users may also wish to skim through this page to learn a few convenient shortcuts.

General

  • press Ctrl + or Ctrl + to move one tab to the left or right respectively

Main Tab

Each loadable type has a hotkey which will add a new loadable of that type when pressed.

  • Map Replay: R
  • Local Replay: L
  • Map: M
  • User: U
  • All User Replays on Map: A

While clicking the checkmark or X next to each loadable will enabled or disable it, you can also shift+click the checkmark of an enabled loadable to disable all other loadables (and keep the one you clicked enabled), or shift+click the X of a disabled loadable to enable all loadables, including the one you clicked.

Visualizer

Each button you can press has a hotkey associated with it:

  • speed up:
  • speed down:
  • next frame: (also pauses immediately
  • previous frame: (also pauses immediately)
  • pause / resume: Space
  • play backwards: Ctrl + (also resumes if paused)
  • play forwards: Ctrl + (also resumes if paused)

To jump to a specific timestamp in the visualizer, copy that timestamp in milliseconds (so 2 seconds into the replay would be 2000) to your clipboard and paste (Ctrl + V) it into the visualizer. This is especially useful when investigating snaps, as you can jump to the timestamp of each snap.

You can scroll with a mouse or trackpad to scrub forwards or backwards in the replay from your current position.

Settings

Some advanced settings are worth taking a look at. To access these, go to the Settings tab and click "Open Advanced Settings" at the top.

In particular, I'd recommend checking if you'd like to change the following settings:

  • speed_options: what speeds you can switch between in the visualizer
  • default_speed: what speed the visualizer starts at

Make sure you click "Sync Settings" (if you do change any values) for the changes to take effect.

Mac Users

If you are on macOS, all the above hotkeys will still work for you. Simply replace Ctrl with Cmd.
