Fast Moving Hotkey double allocation
Major Bajor
Currently, both keys for fast moving (space and enter) have other functions.
This leads to very unfortunate effects, for example, after you place a pin down, you can't fast move with space anymore.
And enter is also allocated with opening the chat, so if you play a party or a team duel, you can't fast-move at all without turning off chat.
This can be fixed very easily, by changing the hotkeys.

Make letting go of the "Enter" key open chat, not first initial press

In Team Duels, I would often have to disable the Team Chat temporarily just to be able to fast move whenever my pin is already on the map. I feel like having the [Enter] key only open chat when the key is let go would fix that issue, as then you would still be able to fast move as well as open chat
This same logic is already applied when locking in your guess with [Spacebar], so why not apply it with the [Enter] key too?

Yes! I think fast moving is just a glitch of the Google Maps interface and nothing that GeoGuessr implemented intentionally. They could just block that glitch and then add actual buttons on screen or more sensible keys to activate it.
And for ranked duels, people should have the option to opt out of it, so that both players cannot use it if one of them ticks the box, because if you live far away from the next Google server, you have an actual disadvantage in moving duels, and by opting out of it, both couldn’t use it and it would make moving duels more fair.
