+\dungeon\ \crawl: Important changes in 0.4
+}\end{center}
+
+In DCSS 0.4, for better ergonomics, many key bindings were changed. Also,
+a small number of new commands were introduced. The tables below list all
+of these. If you have been playing an older version and want to restore
+the old key set, do so by adding this line to the
+\texttt{init.txt} file: \\
+\texttt{additional\_macro\_file = 034\_command\_keys.txt}
+
+\para
+
+The command for examining items (was \key{v}) is gone. Bring up the
+inventory and press the key matching an item's slot in order to examine it.
+
+When chopping up a single corpse on the ground, there is no longer any
+prompt. You will only be prompted if there are two or more corpses. When
+answering this prompt, you can use the following shortcuts: \key{c} means
+yes, so you can press \key{cccc}\dots to chop up all corpses in one place,
+or you can just hit \key{a} to butcher of corpses on a square.
+
+The \key{* Direction} and \key{Ctrl-Direction} keys now both open and close
+doors.

+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+There are additional changes to the targeting interface: \\
+The functions of \key{!} and \key{.} have been swapped. So firing with
+\key{.} will now stop at the target, whereas \key{!} will shoot further
+if the target was missed (and \key{Enter}, \key{Del}, \key{Space} still
+behave as in 0.3.4). \\
+You can now target using the monster list as well; \key{Ctrl-L} toggles
+this option.\\
+You may quiver an item, meaning that you will preferably fire this
+ammunition (and keep doing so even if you run out of it temporarily).
+Quivering is done via \key{Q} (quiver the currently fired item) or
+\key{fi} (choose an item and quiver it) or also by using \key{(} (cycling
+appropriate ammunition) and then firing. \key{F} also lets you select an
+item to be thrown, but this command does not affect the quiver.
