ToME WikiWhen the key "verr num" is on, the game freeze when trying any of the macro commands in the macro menu (query, create, or remove). What happens is if I choose one of them, e.g. by typing '(3) Query a macro', then the game will ask me the trigger, but automatically complete with two ^ :
Trigger: ^^
and the message "Found no macro -more-" appears.
From this point, the game only accepts "Enter" and "Escape" keys. Which is just enough to leave the menu and be stuck in the game, without the possibility to save it (is there a way to force a panic-save by sending a process signal?)
AnonymousHero: Be very careful about sending signals to the process. Some signals may cause the game to kill your character (as a horribly misguided anti-cheating measure).
Robert Diamond: For x11 builds open up main-x11.c, and find line 1642 (or there abouts?)
/* Normal keys with no modifiers */
if (n && !mo /* && !mx == numlock == frik stif up */ && !IsSpecialKey(ks))
Basically (on my system at least) mx = 1 when numlock is on, and the code never makes it into the "if normal key" section. Haven't tested this extensively, but can confirm it stops the lockups and lets you keep numlock on while playing tome
