43 | =head2 X<the_keyboard>Keyboard/Keymappings |
|
|
44 | |
|
|
45 | The keyboard works quite similar to other programs: If a widget (e.g. a text entry) has the focus, |
|
|
46 | you can enter and edit text there. |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | Special key bindings apply to the playing area. It needs to be focused to |
|
|
49 | work. If it doesn't have the focus, it will be tinted in red, in that case |
|
|
50 | you can focus it by clicking into it. |
|
|
51 | |
|
|
52 | The following keys are available in the playing area: |
|
|
53 | |
|
|

65 | |
|
|
66 | =item Cursor/Arrow Keys, Keypad-B<12346789> - directional movement/attack |
|
|
67 | |
|
|
68 | If you press the Alt-Modifier together with a Cursor/Arrow-Key, then you |
|
|
69 | will use the next direction counterclockwise, this gives you access to the |
|
|
70 | diagonal directions on keyboards without a numeric keypad. This works together |
|
|
71 | with other modifiers, too. |

337 | First you have to I<start recording> via the button on the top. |
|
|
338 | |
|
|
339 | Then you can issue commands via the completer, or just run around, the |
|
|
340 | commands will be recorded in the background. |
|
|
341 | |
|
|
342 | If you are finished with the command sequence click on I<stop recording> |
|
|
343 | (the same button you used to start recording). |
|
|
344 | |
|
|
345 | Then you can see a list of the commands you issued and delete them if you |
|
|
346 | want. |
|
|
347 | |
|
|
348 | Next you have to click on I<bind>, which will open a key query, where you |
|
|
349 | have to press the corresponding key combination which you want to bind to |
|
|
350 | this command sequence. |
|
|
351 | |
