### References
Often times in a configuration you will find that you're repeating yourself quite a bit. ENiGMA½ provides an `@reference` that can help with this in the form of `@reference:dot.path.to.section`.
Consider `actionKeys` in a menu. Often times you may show a screen and the user presses `Q` or `ESC` to fall back to the previous. Instead of repeating this in many menus, a generic recyclable block can be utilized:

Especially in a container environment such as [Docker](/docs/installation/docker.md), environment variable access in configuration files can become very handy. ENiGMA½ provides a flexible way to access variables using the `@environment` directive. The most basic form of `@environment:VAR_NAME` produces a string value. Additionally a `:type` suffix can be supplied to coerece the value to a particular type. Variables pointing to a comma separated list can be turned to arrays using an additional `:array` suffix.
