While ''Dwarf Fortress'' is primarily keyboard-controlled, there are certain areas in the game that have '''mouse control'''.  These are, however, rather rare, and therefore easy to document.

Mouse controls are a feature that the player will sporadically come across. Current mouse controls are as follows:
 
+
*Left-click to select an option. This includes list items, tabs, map tiles and various controls.
== General controls ==
+
*Right-click to scroll a list downward (in some cases to cycle tabs) or to move the cursor.
 
+
*Right-click on map border to move view.
