| This article is about an older version of DF. |
This document contains a list of the default controls for Dwarf Fortress as of version v0.27.169.32a. Controls may be customized through the use of the Esc↓↓Enter menu or by editing the file data/init/interface.txt, but this is not recommended for new players.
Controls are usually listed on the bottom of the window or next to the respective option when you have opened a menu.
Arrows are shown on the edges of the screen if more options are available beyond the screen. Use the Interface keys to scroll through the list of options.
For purposes of the game, note that any key designated in uppercase means to hold Shift while tapping that key. For instance, V means to press Shift+v.
