This document contains a list of the default controls for Dwarf Fortress as of version v0.27.169.32a.  Controls may be [[Key bindings|customized]] through the use of the {{key|Esc}}{{k|↓}}{{k|↓}}{{k|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 [[Controls#Interface|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, {{key|V}} means to press {{key|Shift}}+{{key|v}}. Also, pressing a key with Caps Lock turned on will work similar to pressing the key while holding shift. For example, if you want to press {{key|C}} then you could do it by pressing {{key|Shift}}+{{key|c}} or by pressing {{key|Caps Lock}} and then pressing {{key|c}}.
