Commands

The following command descriptions are listed as the command name plus the "underlying command" key. This is followed by the command name and "roguelike" keyset key, if different from the underlying command key.

Some commands use the "repeat count" to automatically repeat the command several times, while others use the "repeat count" to specify a "quantity" for the command, and still others use it as an "argument" of some kind. Some commands are auto-repeated several times if no repeat count is given and the "always_repeat" option is set.

Most commands take no "energy" to perform, while most other commands only take energy when they cause the world to change in some way.

Inventory Commands

• Inventory list (i)

• Equipment list (e)

       Use this command to display a list of the objects currently being
       used by your character.  Your character has 12 slots for equipment,
       each corresponding to a different location on the body, and each of
       which may contain only a single object at a time, and each of which
       may only contain objects of the proper "type", and which include
       WIELD (weapon), BOW (missile launcher), LEFT (ring), RIGHT (ring),
       NECK (amulet), LITE (light source), BODY (armor), OUTER (cloak),
       ARM (shield), HEAD (helmet), HANDS (gloves), FEET (boots).  You
       must be wielding/wearing certain objects to take advantage of
       their special powers.

• Drop an item (d)

       This drops an item from your inventory or equipment onto the
       dungeon floor.  If the floor spot you are standing on already has
       an object in it, Angband will attempt to drop the item onto an
       adjacent space.  Be warned that if the floor is full and you
       attempt to drop something, it may disappear and be destroyed.
       Doors and traps are considered objects for the purpose of
       determining if the space is occupied.  This command may take
       a quantity, and takes some energy.

• Destroy an item (k) or Destroy an item (^D)

       This destroys an item in your inventory or on the dungeon floor.
       If the selected pile contains multiple objects, you may specify
       a quantity.  You must always (currently) verify this command.
       This command may take a quantity, and takes some energy.

• Wear/Wield equipment (w)

       To wear or wield an object in your inventory, use this command.
       Since only one object can be in each slot at a time, if you wear
       or wield an item into a slot which is already occupied, the old
       item will be first be taken off, and may in fact be dropped if
       there is no room for it in your inventory.  This command takes
       some energy.

• Take off equipment (t) or Take off equipment (T)

       Use this command to take off a piece of equipment and return it
       to your inventory.  Occasionally, you will run into a cursed item
       which cannot be removed.  These items normally penalize you in some
       way and cannot be taken off until the curse is removed.  If there
       is no room in your inventory for the item, your pack will overflow
       and you will drop the item after taking it off.  This command takes
       some energy.
