The - symbol is used to represent:

  • horizontal walls: -
  • an open door in a vertical wall: -
  • part of a ray

Pressing - followed by a direction will cause you to attack that direction regardless of what is there, useful for attacking invisible or mimicked foes, pets or peaceful denizens of the dungeon, without a prompt for safety.

For some item prompts, pressing - chooses your hands instead of an item. This can be used to engrave with your finger, to wield nothing (and fight bare-handed), or to make your hands greasy.

Pressing - at a menu inverts the selection on the current page only.
