the eight movement directions or press '*' to enter targeting mode. A
detailed explanation of targeting mode can be found in the section on

You may also wish to make use of the use_old_target option which
automatically selects the last target. This prevents you from having to
target the same monster every time you attack it. An explanation of
this option is found the section on User Interface Options (see
-option.txt#UserInterface [2]).
