|

|
|
60 | =head3 B<once/REPEAT> |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | C<Ctrl> determines wether an action invoked via the keyboard (moving, |
|
|
63 | firing) is executed once per keypress or repeatedly as fast as |
|
|
64 | possible. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | In I<once> mode, each time you press a key, your character will try to |
|
|
67 | execute the action once. If you try to execute actions faster than your |
|
|
68 | character is able to, the actions will be queued. |
|
|
69 | |
|
|
70 | In I<REPEAT> mode, your character keep executing the action as long as you |
|
|
71 | keep the keys pressed, as fast as it is able to do. This allows you to run |
|
|
72 | faster with a fast character, but msot importantly enables you to stop |
|
|
73 | immediately, as no matter how fast your character is, stopping to press |
|
|
74 | the keys will stop your character. |

|
79 | For example, when you have applied a bow, then pressing C<Shift>-Arrow |
|
|
80 | will firean arrow instead of moving your character. Less obviously, this |
|
|
81 | also works for anything else in your range slot, such as spells or skills. |

|
|
90 | C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on some operating systems, having |

91 | it on makes it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for moving or |
