If you're attempting to play DF on a laptop, you may have noticed that your + and - keys don't seem to work. This is because DF is asking for the keys on the numpad, not the ones squeezed between 0 and backspace. There are two, fairly simple, solutions:

  • Change the keybindings, the Key bindings page should help
  • Find your Fn key. This key should change the meaning of the right-hand side of your keyboard, allowing you to use it as a numpad. For example, my laptop's Fn key is on the left of the bottom row and when I hold it and press ; or / it acts like numpad - and + respectivly.
