CommandMode
From The Battle for Wesnoth Wiki
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.')
Several vi-like commands are available in command mode. They are defined in playturn.cpp in the turn_info::do_command() function:
- :q or :q!
- quit the scenario (without prompting)
- :w
- save the game (without prompting)
- :wq
- save the game and quit the scenario (without prompting)
- :refresh
- redraw the screen
- :droid 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.
- :muteall
- toggles muting/silencing of all observers on/off
- :mute username
- mute a specific observer. If no username is supplied the muted usernames are displayed.
- :kick username

- :ban username

- :control side username
- change the controller for side (write here the number of the side) to username (write here the nick of the player or observer)

- :debug
