[net.games.rogue] Tips on playing 5.3 one-handed

No, I don't mean "one-handed" in the sense of not being able to wield
a two-handed sword. I mean "one-handed" in the sense of having a baby
in your lap which keeps one arm busy.

Most of us move around the dungeon with the very useful ctrl-HJKL
commands. In 5.2, it was easy, since with one hand you can type "fh"
or whatever. On the other hand (no pun intended), pressing the CTRL
key and any of HJKL on most terminals with one hand is something like
trying to play those chords on the piano I never could learn.

Note, therefore, that ctrl-H is, as we all know, BACKSPACE. And ctrl-J
is RETURN. (And for anyone out there with a clear-screen button on your
terminal, it's probably ctrl-L.)

Why not let the baby hold down the <cntl> key ?		:-)
