UI Question -- don't flame too hard.
« on: July 12, 2010, 02:56:21 pm »
I feel like a jackass asking but how do i access the items boxed in red? I've tried the alt arrow down with no results. Also what are the defaults for the lower box? I've literally been browsing the Key bindings and wiki trying to figure this out.

The standard setting is + - * / on the Numpad of your keyboard. If you're on Laptop or don't have a numpad for another reason, you'll have to rebind them (esc->key bindings or something like that)

Also this is a pretty polite forum though it's inhabited by psychopaths... nobody gets flamed except the occasional elf or noble ;)

I remember the first time I figured that out. I don't want to talk about it.

Ok, I know what + and - are for, but what are * and / for? Left and right? Changing menus? Multiplying and dividing?

Please, take a moment of silence for all the venerable old threads rendered unintelligible by the Great Photobucket Dickification of 2017. So much was lost.

-+ move up or down by 1 item. /* move up or down by 1 page.

The wiki is notoriously inaccurate on subjects at the cutting edge, frequently reflecting passing memes, folklore, or the word on the street instead of true dwarven science.
