1	=head1 tooltip	1	=head1 X<tip_of_the_day>Tips of the Day
		2
		3	This section contains the Tips of the Day, ordered by most important to
		4	least important.
		5
		6	=head2 Tutorial
		7
		8	For first time users of Deliantra, consider skimming through the
		9	L<tutorial>. You can also access it by pressing the B<Help> button at the
		10	top.
		11
		12	=head2 Apply and Examine Keys
		13
		14	The B<Spacebar> usually applies the topmost object on the ground, while
		15	the B<Return> (or B<Enter>) key examines it. See L<the keyboard\|the_keyboard>
		16	for more keyboard mappings.
		17
		18	=head2 The Completer
		19
		20	You can type most commands by simply typing an B<abbreviation> whenever the
		21	play area has the keyboard focus. See L<the keyboard\|the_keyboard>
		22	for more info.
		23
		24	=head2 The Mouse
		25
		26	The left mouse button usually B<examines> an item. The middle mouse
		27	button usually B<applies> an item (which can mean a lot of things, such
		28	as drinking, wearing, wielding and so on). The right mouse button usually
		29	opens a B<menu> with further options. For example, the right-mouse-button
		30	menu of the playing area gives you quick access to the playerbook and
		31	autopickup, while the RMB-menu in the skills window lets you create key
		32	bindings for using skills.
		33
		34	=head2 Autopickup
		35
		36	You can let your character automatically pick up stuff when you are moving
		37	over a L<map space\|glossary/space>: First select which items to pick up in the
		38	B<Setup/Pickup> window, then enable/disable it using the right mouse
		39	button menu of the playing area.
		40
		41	It's customary to disable autopickup in civilised areas, to reduce the
		42	risk of taking an item you should not pick up.
		43
		44	=head2 Moving the Map
		45
		46	You can move the map (I<not> the minimap) around by dragging it with the
		47	middle mouse button. This is useful when you rearrange your windows and
		48	want to move the center of the map.
		49
		50
		51	=head1 X<tooltip>Tooltips
		52
		53	This section contains some of the tooltips of the Deliantra client.
		54
		55	=head2 X<modifier_box>Keyboard Modifiers
		56
		57	This box shows which keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl etc.) are currently
		58	active ("pressed").
		59
		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.
		75
		76	=head3 B<move/FIRE>
		77
		78	C<Shift> determines wether you move or fire when pressing an arrow key.
		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.
		82
		83	=head3 B<alt>
		84
		85	Shows wether the C<Alt> key is pressed or not. The Alt key can be used
		86	together with the arrow keys to achieve diagonal movement. It is also
		87	commonly used to define keyboard macros.
		88
		89	=head3 B<num>
		90
		91	C<NumLock> isn't used by Deliantra, but on the Windows Operating System,
		92	having it on can make it impossible to use the B<numeric keypad> for
		93	moving or firing. Likewise having it off on Mac OS X might cause problems
		94	with diagonal movement, so when you encounter keyboard issues, try to
		95	toggle NumLock.
