I didn't know what does AR, OD, BPM or FC mean and what they do until I got into top 500. I just played ignoring those things. ;;

I didn't know you could scroll the song list with right click instead of having to roll and roll with mouse or flip a billion times with the pen when I want to find a map.
This one is amazing... With this I won't need to close Osu!Nathanael wrote:

Oh god, I remember the first time I discovered this. I already had thousands of beatmaps by that time ;_;nooblet wrote:

I didn't know (even though it says it on the top left corner) that when you fail a song, you can press F1 to see the replay.
Holy shit, thank you!nooblet wrote:

For a while I thought nightcore meant 4x speed, I also didn't know I could click tab to hide the score board
Didn't know how to type a text link in chat for the last two years until someone told me how to do it.

Ctrl+Shift+Scroll Adjusts the volume in menus where you otherwise couldn't.
Alt+Scroll Adjusts the effect volume.
Some useful stuff which took me a while to learn about.
Edit: 10 seconds ahead ^^

I knew about using the wheel and holding alt, just not holding control+shift to do it in places you normally couldn't like song select
Holy f'ing ninja^

Agreed. I've found about 2-3 more things from this I still hadn't known of yet.Ziggo wrote:

I didn't use any of these before
default key binding for mods In order ( Standard )
Q W E - Easy , No Fail , Half Time
A S D F G - Hardrock , Sudden death (Double Tap to do perfect mod ) , Double time (Double Tap to do Nightcore Mod , Hidden, Flashlight
Z, X, C, V - Relax, Autopilot, Spunout, Auto
I didn't know that you can choose what part of skin you want to use. I always thought it was pre-set and all we can do is obey the skin maker.
Off Topic : I wonder what's on peppy's mind after he read this thread.(will it be like "oh my god, how could all of you don't know about that?")

I didn't know what ar, od, acc, and many other abbreviations until like rank 30k.
I didn't know i can play with z/x for the first 2 months.
All I did was go to the main menu. I don't know about you guys, but going to the main menu refreshes the skin for me.piruchan wrote:

Well, not etactly somethink i didnt know while i should, but its a good tip either way:
You can use the editor to adjust the difficulty of a song, ie, song x is just slightly out of your skill level, and you keep failing because life drain (meaning your 100s wont keep up) but you're otherwise doing fine, edit that specific value down a bit (Just 1 or 2 points!), use that till you got comfortable on that song and then restore the difficulty.
I find this helpfull for practicising.

anyone know that in beatmap select if the song is pink that means it's unplayed?
also you can download a replay once you're on the replay statistics screen and press f2

use edit mode to play a map
I didn't give a damn about song info (AR and OD) when I've started from 2009 until now, but I still ignore them and play lol
This thread is already amazing. (I learned about new shortcuts!)

I surprisingly didn't know you could change keybinds until like January, so I was shifting my keyboard to do z/x every time I played (I'm a lefty tablet user)
I think the first month or so that I played osu!, I had no idea you could use keyboard keys. Was a mouse-only player at the time.
Had a friend who was the same way; he was using his touchpad buttons with a tablet.
As for something a bit more unknown, in the osu!username.cfg file, Display = # controls which display osu! starts on. Useful for fullscreen players with multiple monitors positioned in a non-expected way (osu! would start on my far-right monitor in a triple-screen setup by default).

4 years ago, I still had no idea about using keyboard binding on left and right mouse click and this is the reason why I quit osu a few months later. 
Now, other shortcuts/binding like F2=random map selection; Q,W,E,A,S,D,F etc = mods; Ctrl+1,2,3 or 4 correspond to modes and a lot more...
In other words, it's all about key bindings

I've been trying to figure this out, thanks.ashketchum1234 wrote:

I didn't know sliders gave you '300' in occasions where you would get 50's or 100's in normal notes. Assuming you finish the slider properly.
