Borsook: /* Command Mode */

== Command Mode ==

You can access command mode by typing ' ''':''' ' in a single player or multiplayer scenario.
(Prior to version 1.1.1, you need to type shift - semicolon( ''';''' ). However this isn't possible on all keyboards; if your keyboard doesn't have ':' above ';' you can change the hotkey in the Preferences, or you could edit '''game.cfg''' by hand.')

Note: you can highlight, copy, and paste text in debug mode.

Several vi-like commands are available in command mode. They are defined in ''playturn.cpp'' in the ''turn_info::do_command()'' function:
;<nowiki>:q or :q!</nowiki>
:quit the scenario (without prompting)
;<nowiki>:w</nowiki>
:save the game (without prompting)
;<nowiki>:wq</nowiki>
:save the game and quit the scenario (without prompting)
;<nowiki>:refresh</nowiki>
:redraw the screen
;<nowiki>:droid</nowiki> ''side''
:toggle player on ''side'' between human and AI player. The player/client who controls that side needs to issue this command. If you don't provide ''side'', '1' is assumed.
;<nowiki>:muteall</nowiki>
:toggles muting/silencing of all observers on/off
;<nowiki>:mute</nowiki> ''username''
