I really need a button to go to the start of a line I'm analysing. Sometimes I get carried away and analyse for loads of moves, and then have to click "Previous Position" loads of times to get back to the current position.
I wonder is it something that could be done with a greasemonkey script?

Originally posted by David TebbYeah, but I then want to be able to click through the line which I've analysed, double checking. "Resetting all" gets rid of the line from the memory of the analyse board screen.

I don't think a lot of people use the analyse board screen as it was designed, specifically the "previous position"/"next position" functions. Try it out and you'll see what I mean: Enter a few moves, and then instead of clicking "reset all", click "Previous Position" a couple of time, then "next position".

Originally posted by RagnorakI use it all the time, and yes, I have missed a "go to the start without deleting all the analysis" button as well.

Allow me to clarify, please.
Something called Back to Start is too close to Reset All, and is confusing, especially since you *don't* want to go back to Start, which is what Reset All does.
I think what Rag is requesting is a feature to Set a Bookmark in the analyzed move list and then have a button labelled Back to Bookmark. If you don't like the name Bookmark, then call it something else... Setpoint, Waypoint, Saved Position, whatever. Just don't call it Start, because that makes me think it will go back to the Current Position.
On further analysis (hehe), it seems that what you want might be to go back to the current position without deleting the line you are analyzing? But why? Only to step through it again?
I was thinking what you wanted was to go back to a particular point and then branch off on a new line from there. Pardon me if that's not what you wanted... 😳 But that seems a lot more useful than just going back to the current position without deleting the line. I can't see what that accomplishes.

Why? Because I sometimes get to a position, and want to double check the moves. Sometimes I forget what order of moves got me to a position.
Going through and double checking a line is what the new analysis board screen is about, and is why it remembers the line that you have just entered, so that you can double check it.
Most people, including you it seems, are still using the analyse board without using the added functionality which Russ/Chris added in the last update. It took me a bit of practice not to hit Reset All everytime, but once I got used to using previous/next, I find it a great help.

Hi, I'm Rag and this is my mantra... "Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired."

In order to accomodate your laziness the staff at RHP have to work more.
Personally, I am too lazy to have a mantra

Originally posted by RagnorakI've updated the analysis.user.js script to add a 'First position' button that should take you to the first move of the analyzed variation. I used the same icon as the 'Reset all' button because I'm lazy and no artist. Feel free to point it to some other image.

Ideally, I'd like it to go to 1 more position back (ie: the existing position before I start any analysis). I've had a look at the code, but unfortunately, it's beyond me.

[EDIT] It still works a charm, as now I only have to click First Position once and previous once and I'm back to the start. 2 clicks instead of a possible 40+. Thanks.
