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.')
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:
- :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
