About Key Symbols
This document and most documents on the wiki use key symbols that look like t to indicate what keys are used for an operation. Note that these are case sensitive. In order to save space, Shift+t will be written as T. So t means "press the 't' key without the shift key" and T means "hold down shift and press the 't' key". Sequences of keys will be written with dashes between them. So a-b-C means "press 'a', then press 'b', then hold shift and press 'c'".
| Esc | Go back to the previous screen/menu |
| ↑ ↓ ← → | Change active menu option or move cursor |
| - + | Alternate menu selection keys |
| Enter | Select menu option |
Sometimes you use the directional keys ↑ ↓ ← → and Enter to make menu selections, but sometimes you will need to use the alternate selection keys (- and +) to make menu selections. Generally speaking, when dealing with menus, if the directional keys don't work try -/+.
Esc will almost always take you back to the previous screen until you get to the top level of the UI, at which point it will display the options menu.
