While Dwarf Fortress is primarily keyboard-controlled, there are certain areas in the game that have mouse control. These are, however, rather rare, and therefore easy to document.
General controls[edit]
In most instances of mouse control, the controls are as follows:
- Left-click to select an option. This includes list items, tabs, map tiles and various controls.
- Right-click to scroll a list downward (in some cases to cycle tabs) or to move the cursor.
- Right-click on map border to move view.
Double-left click currently only selects all items in a tab on the "Move Goods to Depot"-screen.
Mouse control support[edit]
Menus that support mouse control are:
- Advanced world generation
- Creature creation screen in the object testing arena
- Sound menu
- Local image export menu
- Designations menu (but not sub-menus)
- You can also use the mouse to do designations, for example, clicking a tile to have it mined.
- Burrows
- Nobles screen
- Military screen
- Custom stockpile settings
- Health screen (both individual and in the status screen)
- Economic stone settings
- "Move goods to Depot" screen
Mouse control requirement[edit]
The only area which currently requires mouse control is the world painter screen.
Note: All information on this page is true as of vanilla 0.40.19 - all earlier versions may have to be verified independently. Mods such as DFHack may provide you with full mouse-clicky goodness.
