9L<tutorial>. You can also access it by pressing the B<Help> button at the
10top.
11
12=head2 Apply and Examine Keys
13
14The B<Spacebar> usually applies the topmost object on the ground, while
15the B<Return> (or B<Enter>) key examines it. See L<the keyboard|the_keyboard>
16for more keyboard mappings.
17
18=head2 The Completer
19
20You can type most commands by simply typing an B<abbreviation> whenever the
21play area has the keyboard focus. See L<the keyboard|the_keyboard>
22for more info.
23
24=head2 The Mouse
25
26The left mouse button usually B<examines> an item. The middle mouse
27button usually B<applies> an item (which can mean a lot of things, such
28as drinking, wearing, wielding and so on). The right mouse button usually
29opens a B<menu> with further options. For example, the right-mouse-button
30menu of the playing area gives you quick access to the playerbook and
31autopickup, while the RMB-menu in the skills window lets you create key
32bindings for using skills.
33
34=head2 Autopickup
35
36You can let your character automatically pick up stuff when you are moving
37over a L<map space|glossary/space>: First select which items to pick up in the
38B<Setup/Pickup> window, then enable/disable it using the right mouse
39button menu of the playing area.
40
41It's customary to disable autopickup in civilised areas, to reduce the
42risk of taking an item you should not pick up.
