As with most roguelikes, NetHack has more than enough commands to necessitate using upper and lower case letters. A player usually accesses upper case commands by means of the shift key.

The commands that require a shift key are detailed in the image below using blue text:
On this wiki, upper case commands may be referred to with either the shift key combination or a key with the specific case of the letter. Using the example of putting on jewelry, this means either {{kbd|shift|p}} (shift + p) or {{kbd|P}} (P). For the sake of consistency and consideration of keyboard layouts that don't include a shift key, the latter is used.
