<p>69.204.4.58: This needs to be answered on this page.</p> <hr /> <div>{{migrated article}}<br /> {{old}}<br /> {{Quality|Tattered}}<br /> {{av}}<br /> How to disable mouse in the most recent DF version?<br /> <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == General controls ==<br /> <br /> In most instances of mouse control, the controls are as follows:<br /> * Left-click to select an option. This includes list items, tabs, map tiles and various controls.<br /> * Right-click to scroll a list downward (in some cases to cycle tabs) or to move the cursor.<br /> * Right-click on map border to move view.<br /> Double-left click currently only selects all items in a tab on the &quot;Move Goods to Depot&quot;-screen.<br /> <br /> == Mouse control support ==<br /> <br /> Menus that support mouse control are:<br /> * [[Advanced world generation]]<br /> * Creature creation screen in the [[object testing arena]]<br /> * Sound menu<br /> * Local image export menu<br /> * [[Designation]]s menu (but not sub-menus)<br /> ** You can also use the mouse to do designations, for example, clicking a tile to have it mined.<br /> * [[Burrow]]s<br /> * [[Noble]]s screen<br /> * [[Military]] screen<br /> * Custom [[stockpile]] settings<br /> * Health screen (both individual and in the status screen)<br /> * Economic stone settings<br /> * &quot;Move goods to [[Depot]]&quot; screen<br /> <br /> == Mouse control requirement ==<br /> <br /> The only area which currently requires mouse control is the [[world painter]] screen.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == Bugs ==<br /> * Resizing the window during the intro video can cause mouse control to only work in one corner of the screen.{{bug|3861}}<br /> <br /> {{Category|Interface}}</div>
