Key bindings

This is a list of current default Key Bindings available in the stock game.

"Action Group" means that the command is also one of the programmable action groups a craft can use.

For Macintosh users substitute Option (⌥) for Alternate so for example Opt-L would lock current stage.

For Linux users substitute Right Shift for Alternate so for example Right Shift-L would lock current stage.
