Beware the {{kbd|y}} key! Not only does it move northwest, it also answers "yes" to questions like "Eat the [[cockatrice]] corpse?" Woe betide careless players who hold down the y key and meet a powerful [[peaceful]] monster to their northwest. This is especially troublesome in [[Minetown]]. Some game binaries are compiled with [[paranoid_hit]], an [[option]] which requires you to type "yes" to answer such questions in the affirmative.

    • Press shift + y to move far northwest if numpad movement is off.
  • Pressing 'y' answers yes to questions with "yes/no" prompts. As such, be wary of moving by holding down the key or else pressing it repeatedly: you may risk attacking a powerful peaceful monster to your northwest, especially in areas like Minetown. See paranoid_hit for a way to avoid this.
