Besides using your mouse to run the program, Runes, the Ancient Oracle can also be controlled by using "keyboard shortcuts".
Keyboard Shortcuts:
F1: The F1 function key on your keyboard will open this Help file.
spacebar = Casts the Runes.
Number keys (1 - 6) Pressing the number keys will bring up the Rune interpretations. The number 1 corresponds to the first Rune that should be read in the spread, number 2 corresponds to the second Rune in the spread, and so on.
Number key (0) Removes the interpretation window, leaving the starry background. (Time to reflect upon the interpretation).
"h" or "?" keys Brings up "On the Fly Help". This will show Basic quick help within the program window to help you get started. Runes knows what Rune Spread you have selected and will display help for that spread.
"Alt" key will bring up the menu at the top of the program window just below the title bar. You can navigate through the menus using the Up, Down, Left, and Right arrow keys. When you highlight an item from the menu, simply press the Enter key to select it. You will also see underlined letters within each menu. Just press the key on your keyboard and it will select that item.
