# 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.
|
|
- /follow @name, /invite @name (to swim with you), /gift @name, /stall @name and /block @name (or /ignore): the same as those buttons on a keeper’s card.
|
|
|
|
## 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. 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. A violet bead with a tray bar means the app is running in the tray and the keeper is not in the game.
|
|
|
|
Choose your own status in the chat settings, or with /busy, /afk and /back. A game left untouched for five minutes shows you as Away by itself until you move, tap or type again. An Away 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 anything the game shows, or hold your finger on it, for its full card: a fish, a decoration, a food jar, a material, a recipe, a tool, a research study, a quest, an achievement, a badge, a collection page, a place, a neighbour, your coins and your level. Its name sits in its grade’s colour, then a row for each number (price, growth, sale, XP, effects), chips for what it goes into and where it comes from, wear, health or progress as a bar, and its story. When it has a Reef Journal page, the button at the card’s foot opens it.
|
|
|
|
## Keys
|
|
|
|
On a keyboard almost everything has a key: the tools (1 to 4), Build & Buy (6, with 5 for Decor), the Map, Quests (D), Friends (V), My Fish (S), the Workshop (W), the Menu (G) 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. The School (K), the Stall (X), the Exhibition (Y) and the Community (Z) have keys too.
|
|
|
|
Change any key in Keyboard shortcuts (the sheet’s Change keys button, or Shortcuts in the Menu). 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.
