    How do players of graphical tiled display use the "/" identify command?

    Angband has the "/" command to identify a letter. It helps new players to learn about the game, and it also accesses the monster memory.

    Now, it requires to type the letter that you want to have information about.

    My problem is, if I kill, say, a grey mold with graphical tile display, and want to access the monster memory to learn more about grey molds, I do not know which char to type for the "/" command.

    How do people who play with graphical tiles work with the "/" command?

    I usually only use that command by accident when I'm trying to hit '.' Things that you can do to find the correct monster symbol:

    1 - guess
    2 - use the 'l'ook command before killing the monster
    3 - use the '~' knowledge menu

      I just came across the problem when I was testing my isometric view addon and noticed I have forgotten which character skeletons have

      Thanks for the answer

        I've played for so long now that I know most of the monster letters off by heart I think. and if I can't remember, I use the knowledge menu for monsters, or just search though the monsters spoiler file.
