49=head2 X<modifier_box>The Modifier Box
50
51This box shows which keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl etc.) are currently
52active.
53
54=head3 B<once/REPEAT>
55
56C<Ctrl> determines wether an action invoked via the keyboard (moving,
57firing) is executed once per keypress or repeatedly as fast as
58possible.
59
60In I<once> mode, each time you press a key, your character will try to
61execute the action once. If you try to execute actions faster than your
62character is able to, the actions will be queued.
63
64In I<REPEAT> mode, your character keep executing the action as long as you
65keep the keys pressed, as fast as it is able to do. This allows you to run
66faster with a fast character, but msot importantly enables you to stop
67immediately, as no matter how fast your character is, stopping to press
68the keys will stop your character.
69
70=head3 B<move/FIRE>
71
72C<Shift> determines wether you move or fire when pressing an arrow key.
73For example, when you have applied a bow, then pressing C<Shift>-Arrow
74will firean arrow instead of moving your character. Less obviously, this
75also works for anything else in your range slot, such as spells or skills.
76
77=head3 B<alt>
78
79Shows wether the alt key is pressed or not. The alt key is not used for
80controlling your character.
81
82=head3 B<num>
83
84C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on some operating systems, having
85it on makes it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for moving or
86firing, so best leave it off when playing Deliantra.
