Do we really need this?

Doesn't the Template:ASCII do the same thing, and better? --paxed (talk) 16:11, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Template:ASCII lists printable ASCII characters and symbols that (could) appear on screen (also control and alt); Template:Keyboard commands lists commands. E.g. note that ASCII links "Rr" to R but Keyboard commands differentiates between "R" Remove, "r" read, and "r" which is name completed to #rub in extended commands. The only reason they look similar is because Nethack is a console app with a heavy focus on the keyboard and the English alphabet. The templates really do quite different things.

Not that I've ever made use of _either_ of these templates myself. Blackcustard (talk) 23:00, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
