Keyboard Shortcuts

Tuterr, the Private Eye говорит: "Yeah, kid? Still rambling on about an "interface"? God damn it... lemme put it straight with you, pal. You might want to go consult the Chief Medical Officer about your... condition. Maybe they will know something about your "key shortcuts" problem, whatever the hell that means."

This is a list of default keybindings and controls. You can rebind many of them with the Custom Keybindings menu in-game.
