For a dungeon space, see Square.

In NetHack, a blank space serves the following purposes:

  •   represents ghosts:
    •   ghost
    •   shade
    • Some players use the SYMBOLS option to give ghosts and shades a different appearance, such as X or 8.
  • A space also represents a dark part of a room, solid rock, air or an unexplored part of the dungeon.
  • Press space at the --More-- prompt to get the next messages or screen.
  • The rest_on_space option causes the command space to rest, the same as .. This is generally viewed as extremely dangerous, as one too many presses of space as messages pass by can cause YASD.
