I've no idea if this is an actual keyboard prompt, but sometimes when I'm in the heat of battle, I press the wrong buttons occasionally, so this has happened a few times to me.

When casting spells at later stages of the game, it can be bloody boring to watch the magic missile go across the screen before bouncing and coming back. I've had it sometimes when the missile spells zips out really fast and you don't have to wait around (unless pressing space to scroll through the messages at the top as normal). Is this just ADOM having a moment of clarity and speeding up? Or is it actually something I can turn on, because its mighty useful.

Speed problems with ADOM? First time I've ever heard of someone complaining about that...

I've seen the effect you describe, however. It turns up for me if I alt-tab ADOM and maximize it once again; after that, the spell animations go quicker.

I don't think there is a way to turn that on permanently, though.

I think you can toggle the battle message to auto pass "more" with out hitting a key. It is in the manual somewhere mabye like control k or alt k can't remember. Might not be the promble.

genearlly pressing enter is better then space as it skips all the messages not a part of them.

if i'm not mistaken the animation delay in ADOM can be customized via config file
