An extended command is executed by pressing the # key followed by the command itself (the first letter or two should suffice). Extended commands exist because the developers of NetHack ran out of letters. They are supposedly less frequently used than the single-letter commands, but you probably won't get very far without using some of them. For instance, it is impossible to win the game without using #offer.
Depending on how your game was compiled, these commands can vary or alternate keypresses may be available. On NetHack Qt for the Mac with no # key on the standard keyboard, the hash key is replaced with alt commands. If you are playing on the server, pressing alt+3 will produce the # symbol.
Many extended commands have aliases that can be accessed by pressing the meta key (alt on most PC keyboards) together with the first letter of the command,[1] written as "alt + letter" in the table below. If the number_pad option is turned on, some additional shortcuts that don't use the meta key become available (but the alt + 2 shortcut for #twoweapon is disabled).
Extended commands in vanilla NetHack 3.4.3:
| Command | Shortcuts | Short Description |
|---|---|---|
| adjust | alt + a | Adjust inventory letters. |

| invoke | alt + i | Invoke an object's powers. |

| monster | alt + m | Use a monster's special ability. |
| name | alt + n, n (with number_pad on) | Name an item or type of object. |
| offer | alt + o | Offer a sacrifice to the gods. |
