Improved pacifist screen bindings
My first few pacifist attempts ended in bump-kills within the first three dungeon levels (though once my pet got killed by a newt on dlvl 1...), so I tried out Tjr's key bindings, and took the time to improve them a bit, mostly because I couldn't log in without escaping the l in my username, and sometimes got annoyed when opening doors, applying a stethoscope, etc.
Basically, this setup lets you toggle "pacifist mode" while playing. There are three rc files:
The file ~/.screenrc-pacifist reads:
# Hit ^o followed by o to enable pacifist key bindings bindkey ^o command -c pacifist-toggle bind -c pacifist-toggle o source ~/.screenrc-pacifist-on
~/.screenrc-pacifist-on reads (I left out some of Tjr's bindings because I like using Ctrl-movement):
# Activate pacifist key bindings # defuse movement keys so they won't attack. # Unfortunately, deactivates autopickup. bindkey 'h' stuff 'mh' bindkey 'y' stuff 'my' bindkey 'k' stuff 'mk' bindkey 'u' stuff 'mu' bindkey 'l' stuff 'ml' bindkey 'n' stuff 'mn' bindkey 'j' stuff 'mj' bindkey 'b' stuff 'mb' # make control-t the unbound-prefix bindkey "\024" mapdefault # Set ^o o to turn pacifist key bindings off bind -c pacifist-toggle o source ~/.screenrc-pacifist-off wall "Pacifist mode activated!"
And ~/.screenrc-pacifist-off reads:
# Remove pacifist key bindings bindkey 'h' bindkey 'y' bindkey 'k' bindkey 'u' bindkey 'l' bindkey 'n' bindkey 'j' bindkey 'b' bindkey "\024" # Set ^o o to turn pacifist bindings on bind -c pacifist-toggle o source ~/.screenrc-pacifist-on wall "Pacifist mode deactivated!"
And now, start nethack with:
screen -c ~/.screenrc-pacifist telnet nethack.alt.org
You can log in as normal, then when you hit ^o o, each movement key X will be replaced with mX. If you want to turn it off, hit ^o o again.
