In NetHack, the caret symbol (^) serves the following purposes:
- In the dungeon, a ^ represents most traps, including magic portals but not counting webs.
- Press ^ for the trap ID command.
- ^ is the default for the menu_first_page option, and is supported by tty and curses interfaces; see menu controls.
The caret is also used as a prefix to denote a control character, e.g. using Ctrl + P to review previous messages - this is a standard UNIX usage also present in the MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows text-mode interfaces.
