    Inscribing rod

    It's been a while since I've played Angband, so I may be doing something wrong.

    I inscribed the Rod of Trap Detection I found early on with {@z0}. I expected I could (z)ap the rod with z0, regardless of its place in my inventory. But hitting "z" brings up a list of rods in inventory, and their letter names - hitting "0" or any other number key for inscribed rods has no effect.

    You should be able to. Which version are you playing?
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

      Maybe you have bound a macro to 0?

        Maybe you have inscribed another item with {@0} ?

          Could this be obscurely related to how rods aren't magic items for ID by gnomes?

            I am playing 4.0.5. I have other inscriptions (@f0, @w0) which work exactly as intended. In my current game, I'm playing a hobbit rogue, who, on his first dive, picked up a Rod of Identity on level 1 (!).

            And I just now inscribed that @z0!d!k!v and was able to zap it with z0.

            Which is weird; because in my last game (which I was still playing when I made this post) with a now deceased half-elven warrior, I could not get z0 to work; and that was with the same version of Vanilla. So I didn't even bother inscribing the rods on this game.

            I'll keep an eye out if it happens again, and will post a screenshot. But I guess it could have been some stray key binding.
