 Your gags are saved to `gags.lua`, next to your world file (`worlds/Cosmic Rage/gags.lua`). It's a plain, human-readable file, so you can copy it to share your gag list with someone else or keep it as a backup. To load someone else's list, drop their `gags.lua` into your own `worlds/Cosmic Rage/` folder - this replaces your existing gags, so back yours up first if you want to keep it.

-
-**Alt + N** is also bound to south-west movement by another plugin. Because Gag Manager loads after it, Alt+N currently opens the gag menu instead of moving you - southwest movement via that key doesn't work right now.
