Using the Keyboard

The general commands (See section Standard Keyboard Commands) all work.

Commands that operate on units will be applied to the current unit of the map. If the map has no current unit, then you will get an error message.

Commands that need further input will generally request it from the prompt subwindow that is sandwiched between the history subwindow and the date subwindow. You do not need to put the cursor over the prompt window to type into it however; when a prompt is up, any typed characters will be considered to be part of the answer to the prompt. You can type in an escape (`C-[') character to cancel the command and clear the prompt.

If the request is for a unit type, such as when choosing a type to construct, you can choose the type either by typing its character, or by clicking on its entry in the unit type list.

The X11 interface defines these additional commands.

v
(flash). Flicker or animate the position of the current unit.
{
(z-in) Zoom in (the cells appear larger).
}
(z-out) Zoom out (the cells appear smaller).
close
Close a map window.
map
Open a new map window.
rv
Switch to reverse video.
world-map
Open a world map window. This is like map, but the map is scaled to show the whole world at once.
mono
Switch to monochrome display. This is really meant for debugging only, and is only available if debugging was compiled in.
