To access the osu! Game mode, press Ctrl + 1 at the same time. Alternatively, click on the Mode button and select osu!
These aren’t the easiest to find, but here’s some that are useful!
(Taken from the osu! wiki – page found here)
I frequently use…
- All the best osu! Skins from good skinners and top player, download with 4 different links, many screenshots and more! Mania (109) Tags.
- Find and download the best osu skins of all time. Easily access the skin you're looking for with advanced filtering options.
- To access the osu!mania game mode, press Ctrl + 4 at the same time. Alternatively, click on the Mode button and select osu!mania.
- Though the game mode was originally made as an imitation of the Beatmania style of playing, osu!mania allows changing the number of keys or vertically flipping the orientation of the playfield (this means that it can be made to look more like Guitar Hero 5 keys or Dance Dance Revolution 4 keys and so on).

- F7
- F8

- CTRL + O
- F12 / SHIFT + F12
- Alt + Arrow up/down (volume while in song select)
