This might be a noob question, but when I enter "travel mode" (shift+t), I can't get out of it! I'm stuck in the overhead view of the map...How would I fix this?

">" is used to enter a site (shift + .)

This is seriously unfriendly. Shouldn't space exit travel mode, the same way it exits most other modes?

Space is for exiting menus, and is not a movement command.

The whole > to enter a local area has a long tradition in roguelike games.  And, I suppose, it might have gotten its start from the Ultima games and the like, which are the granddaddy of the world-map feature, if I remember correctly  :).

Anyway, now you know, so it shouldn't be "unfriendly" any more  :).

> is the downward stairways in ROGUE like games, so it just makes sense that you descend to the local map the same way you descend anything else.

It was intuitive to me when I first started playing; I didn't even have to use the  in-game control listing to find out the answer to this simple question.   :)
