If not on the toolbelt, you can activate a tool (or any item in your inventory) by double clicking on it. Once highlighted (in green text) it can be used on a workpiece/material (such as using a [[Carving knife]] on [[wood scraps]] of at least wt2.00 to get [[kindling]]). Items can also be activated the same way (see Storing Water below).
After activating a tool, you can use it on up to 3 items at a time, by:
* using it on a stack of items (that are material for the action)
*using it on a highlighted group of items (that are material for the action)
Example:
Double click a saw
Select a log
Shift select a second log (under the first, or the one after that, so two or three are selected)
Right click on the selection, choose "plank"
