44=head2 Moving the Map
45
46You can move the map (I<not> the minimap) around by dragging it with the
47middle mouse button. This is useful when you rearrange your windows and
48want to move the center of the map.

55=head2 X<modifier_box>Keyboard Modifiers
56
57This box shows which keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl etc.) are currently
58active ("pressed").
59
60=head3 B<once/REPEAT>
61
62C<Ctrl> determines wether an action invoked via the keyboard (moving,
63firing) is executed once per keypress or repeatedly as fast as
64possible.
65
66In I<once> mode, each time you press a key, your character will try to
67execute the action once. If you try to execute actions faster than your
68character is able to, the actions will be queued.
69
70In I<REPEAT> mode, your character keep executing the action as long as you
71keep the keys pressed, as fast as it is able to do. This allows you to run
72faster with a fast character, but msot importantly enables you to stop
73immediately, as no matter how fast your character is, stopping to press
74the keys will stop your character.
75
76=head3 B<move/FIRE>
77
78C<Shift> determines wether you move or fire when pressing an arrow key.
79For example, when you have applied a bow, then pressing C<Shift>-Arrow
80will firean arrow instead of moving your character. Less obviously, this
81also works for anything else in your range slot, such as spells or skills.
82
83=head3 B<alt>
84
85Shows wether the C<Alt> key is pressed or not. The Alt key can be used
86together with the arrow keys to achieve diagonal movement. It is also
87commonly used to define keyboard macros.
88
89=head3 B<num>
90
91C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on the Windows Operating System,
92having it on can make it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for
93moving or firing. Likewise having it off on Mac OS X might cause problems
94with diagonal movement, so when you encounter keyboard issues, try to
95toggle NumLock.
