84.61.214.237: /* Chat Window */

WarLight supports a few hotkeys to make navigating the UI easier. Once you get used to the game, these can make playing easier.

==Phase Manipulation==

* '''A''' - While building your turn, you can press the A key to advance to the next phase.
* '''Q''' - While building your turn, you can press the Q key to go back to the previous phase.
* '''Z''' - When done building your turn, you can press the Z key to commit your orders assuming you've advanced to the confirmation phase.

* '''CTRL''' - While in the Attack/Transfer phase, you can hold down '''Control''' to cause clicks to initiate a deployment (just as would happen in the Deployment phase.) Many players prefer to just skip immediately to the Attack/Transfer phase and then deploy using this shortcut. This allows you to issue a deployment and the corresponding attack order at the same time rather than having to do all of your deployments separately from attacks.

==Interface Elements==
* '''R''' - Clicks the Refresh button.
* '''W''' - When watching the latest turn, you can press W as a substitute for clicking the Watch Turn button.
* '''T''' - Shortcut to opening the Chat window. (Multi-player only)
* '''G''' - Shortcut to opening the [[History]] window.
*''' B''' - Shortcut to opening the [[Cards]] window.
* '''P''' and '''M''' - Short for Plus and Minus, these are shortcuts for zooming in and out. These are useful for systems without mousewheel support.
* Escape - Closes any open pop-up windows.

==History Navigation==

* Left/right arrow keys go forward/backward through history by one turn.
* Up/down arrows keys go forward/backward through history by one order.
* Home key - opens up history to the first turn (or territory distribution in a manual distribution game)
* End key - goes to the last turn (you may also wish to use escape to close history completely)

==Chat Window==
While the chat window is open, you can hold down '''Shift''' or '''Control''' and click any territory on the map to paste its name into the chat edit box.
For bonus names, click on the box that indicates the bonus value.
* '''SHIFT''' - Paste territory or bonus names into the edit box of the '''public''' chat.
* '''CTRL''' - Paste territory or bonus names into the edit box of the '''team-only''' chat.
For '''private''' chat there is no direct shortcut, but as a work-around you can paste into public or team-only edit box first (without actually sending the text!) and then manually [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut,_copy,_and_paste copy & paste] the text over to the private chat window.
