#REDIRECT [[Mouse control]]
{{av}}
 
While ''Dwarf Fortress'' is primarily keyboard-controlled, there are certain areas in the game that have '''mouse control'''.  These are, however, rather rare, and therefore easy to document.
 
 
 
== General controls ==
 
 
 
In most instances of mouse control, the controls are as follows:
 
* Left-click to select an option. This includes list items, tabs, map tiles and various controls.
 
* Right-click to scroll a list downward (in some cases to cycle tabs) or to move the cursor.
 
* Right-click on map border to move view.
 
Double-left click currently only selects all items in a tab on the "Move Goods to Depot"-screen.
 
 
 
== Mouse control support ==
 
 
 
Menus that support mouse control are:
 
* [[Advanced world generation]]
 
* Creature creation screen in the [[object testing arena]]
 
* Sound menu
 
* Local image export menu
 
* [[Designation]]s menu (but not sub-menus)
 
        * You can also use the mouse to do designations, for example, clicking a tile to have it mined.
 
* [[Burrow]]s
 
* [[Noble]]s screen
 
* [[Military]] screen
 
* Custom [[stockpile]] settings
 
* Health screen (both individual and in the status screen)
 
* Economic stone settings
 
* "Move goods to [[Depot]]" screen
 
 
 
== Mouse control requirement ==
 
 
 
The only area which currently requires mouse control is the [[world painter]] screen.
 
 
 
Note: All information on this page is true as of vanilla 0.40.19 - all earlier versions may have to be verified independently. Mods such as DFHack may provide you with full mouse-clicky goodness.

* Resizing the window during the intro video can cause mouse control to only work in one corner of the screen.{{bug|3861}}
