# Power keys and commands
|
|
|
|
_Chat channels, slash commands, presence, keyboard shortcuts and detailed hover cards, for keepers who play every day._
|
|
|
|
## Chat channels
|
|
|
|
While you write in the chat, or keep it pinned open, tabs sit above the messages: All, General, Trade, School, Room and Whisper. Each channel has its own colour down the side of its messages, and a tab counts the lines that arrived while you were looking elsewhere. Picking a tab shows that channel alone and sends your messages there.
|
|
|
|
Trade is a public channel beside General for buying, selling and swapping, so General stays a conversation. It has the same moderation, blocks and bans as General and a slower pace, so one offer cannot flood it.
|
|
|
|
## Slash commands
|
|
|
|
Start a line with a slash to give a command. Type a slash to see them as you write, or /help for the whole list. Names fill in as you type them after @ or after a command that needs one; Tab picks.
|
|
|
|
- /w @name message (or /whisper): whisper to a keeper. /r message answers whoever whispered to you last.
|
|
- /visit @name: go to that keeper's aquarium.
|
|
- /who: who is in the room or Open Water place you're in.
|
|
- /afk message, /busy and /back: how you show to others (see Presence below).
|
|
- /emote wave: your fish does the emote out in Open Water; anywhere else it is sent as its picture.
|
|
- /g, /t, /s and /room: say one line in General, Trade, your School or this room, or switch to it when nothing follows the command.
|
|
- A line that starts with // is sent as written, with one slash.
|
|
|
|
## The name menu
|
|
|
|
Right-click a keeper's name in the chat, or hold your finger on it, for a menu of what you can do: open their card, visit, whisper, follow, trade at their stall, block or report.
|
|
|
|
## Presence
|
|
|
|
Every name tag shows whether a keeper is around: a green dot for online, amber with a bar for busy, and a grey moon for away (AFK). You see it in the chat, in the list of who is here, on name cards, in your friends list and over fish in Open Water.
|
|
|
|
Choose your own status in the chat settings, or with /busy, /afk and /back. A game left untouched for five minutes shows you as AFK by itself until you move, tap or type again. An AFK line (/afk feeding the cat) is shown to anyone who whispers to you, and like any message it is moderated.
|
|
|
|
## Item and fish cards
|
|
|
|
Rest the pointer on a fish or an item in the shop, in My Fish, on the tool rack, in the Aquarium Studio or on a #link in the chat, or hold your finger on it, for its full card: its name in its grade’s colour, then a row for each number (price, growth, sale, experience, effects), wear or health as a bar, where it comes from and its story.
|
|
|
|
## Keys
|
|
|
|
On a keyboard almost everything has a key: the tools (1 to 4), the Shop and its pages, the Map, Quests (D), Friends (V), My Fish (S), the Workshop (W), the Keeper OS and more. Enter or T opens the chat and / opens it with a slash ready for a command. Press ? for a sheet of every key and command over the game.
|
|
|
|
Change any key in Keyboard shortcuts (the sheet’s Change keys button, or the Keeper OS). Keys never fire while you type in a field, and Ctrl, Alt and Cmd combinations stay with your browser and system. Without a keyboard, as on a phone, the key list and its badges stay out of sight.
