I know we haven't mined this thread for all the good ideas it has yet. Can anyone think of any other little tricks we can share?

[Three of Swords]

Some things I learned recently:

1. Dragging the green helmet on the Combat Tracker to an image places the tokens of all Friendly units in the Combat tracker on the image. Very useful for adding tokens for all the PCs to a map. Same with Yellow and Red, though usually those are already set up in an Encounter.
2. Use the Modifier box in the lower-left to add or subtract large values to things like Gold pieces on a character sheet. That way the math is done automatically. If you sell an item for 3482 gp, type that number into the Modifier box and drag it to your gold pieces field on your character sheet to add it. To subtract, either type a negative value into the modifier field, or hit CTRL when dropping a positive value on to the gold pieces field to remove the coins.

Well done! Adding these to OP with your name.

I need to find a place to sticky this. Can you send me a PM @Skillkoil so I remember to do so tomorrow.

*Holding CTRL while left clicking to resize maps or images.
If you hold CTRL and left click on a map/image you can move the mouse up and left to resize or down and right to zoom in.(Or middle mouse wheel for zoom)

I just wanted to add, you can use this same method to resize any window within FG - Story, Table, Items, etc. Very handy tip!
