The dot (or period or full stop), ".", character is used in NetHack for several purposes:

  • The rest command.
  • To represent empty dungeon floor (.), and ice (.).
  • To represent venom in the animation of it being spat.

Press . when asked for a direction, such as when zapping a wand, to direct your action at yourself.

Press . to select all items in a menu. Supported by tty and curses interfaces, see menu controls.
