The Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad acts as a controller for a subset of the commands. It makes entering movement commands and some other common commands very simple.

Key Command
/ Carrying
* Peek
- Close Trace window
+ Open Trace window
8 North
2 South
4 West
6 East
7 Northwest
9 Northeast
1 Southwest
3 Southeast
5 Up
0 Down
. .time



You'll find that these map onto the numeric keypad in such a way that the number keys 'point' in the direction of the movement command they're mapped to.

It becomes a bit more obvious when you have a numeric keypad in front of you.
