How can I aim farther using the keyboard controls in DoomRL?

Question

When firing a weapon in DoomRL, you can aim using either the arrow keys or the mouse. When using the keyboard, DoomRL allows me to aim up to 8 tiles away. When using the mouse, I can aim as far as I'd like. This is useful for tactics like blind-firing at a tile out of your vision range, but I prefer to use the keyboard controls. Is there a way to aim at a specific distant tile using the keyboard?

Answer

It's a bug with the differences between the G-version and the normal version -- you can't aim further in ASCII mode. It may be fixed in the next release.
