Controls

The hotkey list can be viewed in-game by pressing ? (Shift+/); the first option in the help menu is the key list.

Character Control

The default controls are set up so that the game can be played with one hand with access to z, x, c, and Shift, and the other with access to the numpad. Most laptop users will need to become acquainted with their function (fn) key to activate their numpad. (Shift+Fn is often the key combination for Function Lock, so that you don't need to continue holding Fn; some other laptops use number lock instead. Your mileage may vary.)

The numpad is the most efficient means of character control, with the numbers corresponding the character movement (4 moves you left, 8 moves you up, 7 moves you up and to the left, etc). Basic movement is also possible with the arrow keys. It is possible to move diagonally using only the arrow keys by simultaneously pressing two of the arrow keys (e.g., simultaneously pressing the up arrow key and the left arrow key will move diagonally up and to the left, the same as pressing 8).

0 (the Insert key of the numpad) is used for picking up items lying on the ground. Pressing Space uses the (usually) most relevant action (such as going down stairs, refilling wells, and searching, among others).

Menu items can be selected with the corresponding key (listed next to item names), with the arrow keys, or with the numpad. Pg Up and Pg Dn (9 and 3 on the numpad) are used to switch between pages (cycle through inventory pages or cycle through character sheet pages). The left and right arrow keys (or 4 and 6) are also used for switching between different panes of the basic character sheet, which is accessed with c.

z accesses the action 'wheel', which lets you access almost every notable function in the game (although most also have a hotkey). Highlight parts of the 'wheel' with the same keys you'd use to move.

Note that pressing Shift will cause menus/lists to close, so don't try to enter capital letters when selecting from a menu/list, and when told to use * press the key above the numpad rather than Shift+8.

Capitalization is, naturally, important here.
