Key Configuration Settings

Key configuration in NetHackDS is controlled by one configuration directive, CHORDKEYS, and one configuration option, cmdkey. CHORDKEYS specifies the list of chord keys, and is defined as a comma-separated list of key names. For example:

CHORDKEYS=up,down,left,right
would define the various directions on the D-Pad as chord keys (and is essentially identical to the DSCrawl key arrangement). Valid key names include: up, down, left, right, a, b, x, y, select, start, r, and l.

Additionally, the cmdkey option takes, as a value, a key name, and defines which key is used to open the command window. For example:

OPTIONS=cmdkey:start
would define the Start button as the key which brings up the command window.
