==Pacifist Key Bindings for GNU Screen==
Many attempted [[pacifist]] games end abruptly with accidentally [[Pacifist#Team gecko|bump-killing]] weak monsters, breaking pacifist conduct. One of the more extreme solutions to this problem is to use [[Wikipedia:GNU_Screen|GNU Screen]] to remap the movement keys so they are all prefixed with {{kbd|m}}. For example, pressing {{kbd|k}} will actually send {{kbd|m}}{{kbd|k}} to the game. This eliminates the possibility of bump-killing (unless you're wielding [[Stormbringer]], but that would be a silly weapon choice for a pacifist), but can make other activities, like inventory management or choosing a direction to apply a [[stethoscope]] or [[key]], somewhat annoying.

[[#RC Files|Below]] is a set of three screen rc files that allow you to switch "pacifist mode" on and off while playing. After creating these files, you can start nethack with:
screen -c ~/.screenrc-pacifist telnet nethack.alt.org
When you hit F11, the key bindings are activated. Pressing F12 returns the bindings to normal. While the key bindings are activated, you can hit {{kbd|ctrl|t}} to send the next movement key as-is, without the {{kbd|m}} prefix.

===RC Files===
Simply create these three files and start nethack as above. The keys to turn pacifist mode on/off can be modified in the .screenrc-pacifist file.

Type "k1" though "k9" to use the F1 through F9 keys, "k0" is F10, and "F1" and "F2" are the F11 and F12 keys, respectively. You can also use, for example, {{kbd|ctrl|o}} by typing "^o" and omitting the "-k" argument.
