In NetHack, the underscore symbol (_) serves the following purposes:

  • Press _ to travel to a map location if the command is enabled in your options.
    • The game will prompt you to move a cursor to your desired destination square, or else select a symbol corresponding to a dungeon feature on that square, and then confirm - you are then moved as part of a shortest-path algorithm to that location. The algorithm fails when there are known traps in the way, instead causing you to travel in a straight line to the nearest wall near that trap.
