Other separators, such as ',' or '-', might be used but mean the same as no separator: to press the keys in sequence.

A plus sign '+' between the boxes means to press them all together, so Shift+ Enter means to hold shift and press 'Enter'.

Sequences of keys will be in separate boxes, so a b C means "press 'a', then press 'b', then hold shift and press 'c'" while b T means "press 'b', then hold shift and press 'T'. Lowercase and uppercase keys will often perform different functions, so it is important to use the correct key. So t means "press the 't' key without the shift key" and T means "hold down shift and press the 't' key". Note that keys are case sensitive and to save space, Shift+ t is shown as T. This wiki uses symbols that look like t or t to indicate what keys or interface buttons are used for an operation. If you're looking for more UI help as you get deeper into your first fortress, you may also want to read this section in the Fortress Mode Guide. This is just the Quickstart Guide, so we skip lots of details on the UI. Also, don't hesitate to ask for help if you can't find answers on the wiki.

Refer to the Fortress Mode Reference Guide or use the wiki search function. While the guide contains many links, you may still need to look something up.
