Welcome to the x-radar wiki!

xRadar is different from other radars in that it very little is done with the mouse. Instead, commands are executed using key sequences. Key sequences have one or more characters, and are executed by pressing those keys, in sequence (as opposed to simultaneously). Each piece of a sequence (referred to hereafter as simply the "key") may require one or more modifiers be applied to it. For example, the pressing a key by itself is distinct from the pressing the a key while holding shift.

Keys are usually represented by what you see on the key, though some are referred to by their name. Here's a table of named keys and how they're referred to by xRadar:

Notice that named keys are enclosed in angled brackets.

Letter keys are represented simply by the letter. Note, however, that case matters. If a letter appears capitalized, such as F, that means to press the f key while holding shift. When lower case, it means to press the letter by itself.

Keys may be combined with other modifiers, like control. To represent pressing f while holding ctrl, for example, you would use <ctrl-f>. To add the shift key to that, you would get <ctrl-F>. If you also want the alt key, then it would be <ctrl-alt-F> or <alt-ctrl-F> (the order is arbitrary).

Mappings are defined in your Configuration files with something like:

#map/normal/gac toggle-combined-chat

This means that in normal mode, you would press the keys, in sequence g, a, then c to execute the command toggle-combined-chat, which leaves a private chat and switches to the combined chat that shows all chats. Mappings typically should use easy-to-remember mnemonics; in this case, "goto all chats." The built-in mappings can be found here.
