+
+A 3D isometric visualizer that runs in a second window.
+
+Usage:
+
+``stonesense`` or ``ssense``
+    Open the visualiser in a new window.
+``ssense overlay``
+    Overlay DF window, replacing the map area.
+
+The viewer window has read-only access to the game, and can follow the game view
+or be moved independently. Configuration for stonesense can be set in the
+``stonesense/init.txt`` file in your DF game directory. If the window refresh
+rate is too low, change ``SEGMENTSIZE_Z`` to ``2`` in this file, and if you are
+unable to see the edges of the map with the overlay active, try decreasing the
+value for ``SEGMENTSIZE_XY`` -- normal values are ``50`` to ``80``, depending
+on your screen resolution.
+
+If you replace the map section of your DF window with ``ssense overlay``, be
+aware that it's not (yet) suitable for use as your only interface. Use DF's
+``[PRINT_MODE:2D]`` init option (in ``data/init/init.txt``) for stability.

+
+Controls
+--------
+Mouse controls are hard-coded and cannot be changed.
+
+:Left click:    Move debug cursor (if available)
+:Right click:   Recenter screen
+:Scrollwheel:   Move up and down
+:Ctrl-Scroll:   Increase/decrease Z depth shown
+
+Follow mode makes the Stonesense view follow the location of the DF
+window. The offset can be adjusted by holding :kbd:`Ctrl` while using the
+keyboard window movement keys. When you turn on cursor follow mode, the
+Stonesense debug cursor will follow the DF cursor when the latter exists.
+
+You can take screenshots with :kbd:`F5`, larger screenshots with
+:kbd:`Ctrl`:kbd:`F5`, and screenshot the whole map at full resolution with
+:kbd:`Ctrl`:kbd:`Shift`:kbd:`F5`.  Screenshots are saved to the DF directory.
+Note that feedback is printed to the DFHack console, and you may need
+to zoom out before taking very large screenshots.
+
+See ``stonesense/keybinds.txt`` to learn or set keybindings, including
+zooming, changing the dimensions of the rendered area, toggling various
+views, fog, and rotation. Here's the important section:
+
+.. include:: ../../plugins/stonesense/resources/keybinds.txt

+Known Issues
+------------
+If Stonesense gives an error saying that it can't load
+:file:`creatures/large_256/*.png`, your video card cannot handle the high
+detail sprites used. Either open :file:`creatures/init.txt` and remove the
+line containing that folder, or :dffd:`use these smaller sprites <6096>`.
 
-:stonesense:        Open the visualiser in a new window.  Alias ``ssense``.
-:ssense overlay:    Overlay DF window, replacing the map area.
+Stonesense requires working graphics acceleration, and we recommend
+at least a dual core CPU to avoid slowing down your game of DF.
