Maybe you do not press it right? You should press gently, with your middle finger. Do not press too hard or the key will whine.


CTRL?! You didn't read right: it's ALT, not ctrl.

it's the ALT key that does this, ctrl targets the closest enemy to your mousepointer so that you can easily attack enemies

Turn your gamma up in the video options to lighten up the dark dungeons.

The alt key should show descriptions for potions, gold, equipment, etc. but not rocks, chairs, etc. Also, if the item is obscured by a wall, the alt key will not show the description, though moving your mouse over the area will. Try dropping some gold or equipment and hitting the alt key; does that work?
