====== Using commands ======

Type the command in lobby chat, including its leading dot: ''.queue'', ''.style jack'', or ''.pp HD HR 99.2''. Command names are case insensitive. Arguments depend on the command; do not assume every command accepts percentages or a username.

Start with [[commands:help|.help and .help2]]. The in-lobby response reflects that room's mode and your permissions. The [[commands:start|wiki command index]] groups commands by purpose and gives exact examples.

===== A command did not reply =====
Check the spelling, lobby mode, and whether you are a player. Rapid repeated commands can be silently throttled. Staff can temporarily disable public commands during busy periods; [[commands:hidden|privacy controls]] remain available. Wait before retrying. See [[troubleshooting:commands|command troubleshooting]].

===== Shared room controls =====
Skip, replay, and difficulty commands are votes rather than personal settings. Mania style selections affect future picks for the shared room. Coordinate with other players rather than repeatedly sending the same command.
