Walk throughout a level with mouse or numeric keypad (left diagram below), or with its compact laptop replacement (middle) or the Vi editor keys (right) selectable in config.ui.ini. Run until disturbed with Shift or Control. Go-to with LMB (left mouse button).

Press `KP_5` (`5` on keypad) to wait, bracing for impact, which reduces any damage taken and prevents displacement by foes. Press `S-KP_5` or `C-KP_5` (the same key with Shift or Control) to lurk 0.1 of a turn, without bracing. Displace enemies by running into them with Shift/Control or S-LMB. Search, open, descend and attack by bumping into walls, doors, stairs and enemies. The best melee weapon is automatically chosen from your equipment and from among your body parts. The following commands, joined with the basic set above, let you accomplish anything in the game, though not necessarily with the fewest keystrokes. You can also play the game exclusively with a mouse, or both mouse and keyboard. (See the ending help screens for mouse commands.) Lastly, you can select a command with arrows or mouse directly from the help screen or the dashboard and execute it on the spot. keys command E manage equipment of the leader g or , grab item(s) ESC open main menu/finish aiming RET or INS open dashboard/accept target SPACE clear messages and show history S-TAB cycle among all party members KP_* or ! cycle x-hair among enemies KP_/ or / cycle x-hair among items c close door % yell/yawn Here is the complete list of commands from the snapshot of in-game help.

Screen area and UI mode (exploration/aiming) determine mouse click effects. First, we give an overview of effects of each button over the game map area. The list includes not only left and right buttons, but also the optional middle mouse button (MMB) and the mouse wheel, which is also used over menus, to page-scroll them. (For mice without RMB, one can use Control key with LMB.) Next we show mouse button effects per screen area, in exploration mode and (if different) in aiming mode. keys command LMB go to pointer for 25 steps/fling at enemy S-LMB run to pointer collectively for 25 steps/fling at enemy RMB or C-LMB start aiming at enemy under pointer C-RMB open or close or alter at pointer MMB snap x-hair to floor under pointer WHEEL-UP swerve the aiming line WHEEL-DN unswerve the aiming line Mouse in exploration and aiming modes. exploration LMB (left mouse button) RMB (right mouse button) message line clear messages and show history display help leader on map grab item(s) drop item(s) party on map pick new leader on screen select party member on screen the map area go to pointer for 25 steps set x-hair to enemy level number move aiming one level up move aiming one level down level caption open dashboard open main menu percent seen explore nearest unknown spot autoexplore 25 times x-hair info cycle x-hair among enemies cycle x-hair among items party roster pick new leader on screen select party member on screen Calm value yell/yawn yell/yawn HP gauge rest (wait 25 times) heed (lurk 0.1 turns 100 times) HP Value wait a turn, bracing for impact lurk 0.1 of a turn leader info auto-fling and keep choice clear chosen item and x-hair aiming mode LMB (left mouse button) RMB (right mouse button) the map area fling at enemy under pointer snap x-hair to enemy level caption accept target cancel aiming percent seen set x-hair to nearest upstairs set x-hair to nearest dnstairs Assorted commands. keys command SPACE clear messages and show history F12 open dashboard ? display help F1 display help immediately v voice again the recorded commands V voice recorded commands 100 times C-v voice recorded commands 1000 times C-V voice recorded commands 25 times ' start recording commands C-S save game backup C-P print screen % yell/yawn
