Press [w] to wield a weapon. To attack a monster in melee, try to move into its square. To use a ranged weapon, wield the launcher if applicable, then [t]hrow or [f]ire the ammunition (after placing the ammunition in your [q]uiver). It is not necessary to wield a thrown weapon, such as a dagger or darts, unless you're trying to throw Mjollnir.

You can have a secondary weapon, and switch between both with [x]; to set a weapon as your secondary weapon, press [x] - your main weapon will become secondary, and you will be barehanded - then wield your other weapon.

Wielding an item, of course, requires touching it, so be sure to wear gloves before wielding something you don't want to touch.
