Direction
Revision as of 18:15, 13 December 2015 by Ilmari Karonen (talk | contribs) (add table of command aliases for number_pad:1)
There are 8 cardinal directions in NetHack. You can use either the number keys or the vi-keys:
Set number_pad:1 in your options to use the number keys for directions and movement:
7 | 8 | 9 |
4 | 6 | |
1 | 2 | 3 |
To use the vi-keys for directions or movement, set number_pad:0 in your options:
y | k | u |
h | l | |
b | j | n |
Whichever you set, you can always use the arrow keys, if using a port that allows for the arrow keys to work properly (most graphical ports do, but many terminal-based ports don't).
Whenever you are prompted for a direction, you can also use the following:
Command aliases
If the number_pad option is turned on, the vi-style movement keys are replaced by the following command aliases:
Key | Alias for |
---|---|
h | ? (help menu) |
j | #jump |
k | ctrl + d (kick) |
l | #loot |
n | #name |
u | #untrap |
