This document and most documents on the wiki use key symbols that look like {{K|t}} to indicate what keys are used for an operation. Note that these are '''case sensitive'''. In order to save space, {{K|Shift}}+{{K|t}} will be written as {{K|T}}. So {{K|t}} means "press the 't' key without the shift key" and {{K|T}} means "hold down shift and press the 't' key". Lowercase and uppercase keys will almost never perform the same function, so it is important to use the correct key. Sequences of keys will be written with dashes between them. So {{K|a}}-{{K|b}}-{{K|C}} means "press 'a', then press 'b', then hold shift and press 'c'".

This wiki uses symbols that look like {{K|t}} or {{Menu icon|t}} to indicate what keys or [[interface]] buttons are used for an operation.

A plus sign '+' between the boxes means to press them all together, so {{K|Shift|Enter|sep=+}} means to hold shift and press 'Enter'.

Sometimes you use the directional keys {{k|↑}} {{k|↓}} {{k|←}} {{k|→}} and {{k|Enter}} to make menu selections, but sometimes you will need to use the alternate selection keys ({{K|-}} and {{K|+}}) instead. Generally speaking, when dealing with menus, if the directional keys don't work try {{K|-}}/{{K|+}}.

About key symbols

This wiki uses symbols that look like t or Ui t.pngt to indicate what keys or interface buttons are used for an operation. Note that keys are case sensitive and to save space, Shift+t is shown as T. So t means "press the 't' key without the shift key" and T means "hold down shift and press the 't' key". Lowercase and uppercase keys will often perform different functions, so it is important to use the correct key. Sequences of keys will be in separate boxes, so abC means "press 'a', then press 'b', then hold shift and press 'c'"; while Ui b.pngbUi bT.pngT means "press 'b', then hold shift and press 'T'. A plus sign '+' between the boxes means to press them all together, so Shift+Enter means to hold shift and press 'Enter'. Other separators, such as ',' or '-', might be used but mean the same as no separator: to press the keys in sequence.

Keybindings can be seen and changed on the Keybindings tab in the Settings menu.

Menu navigation and selection

Esc or right mouse Go back to the previous screen/menu
Mouse wheel Scroll menu one line
Shift+mouse wheel Scroll menu one page
Left mouse Select menu option

Esc or right mouse will almost always return to the previous screen until you get to the top level of the UI, at which point Esc will display the options menu.
