This is a reference for default mouse and keyboard commands in Engine.

Notes

• This is the general default key and mouse setup used for testing
• In text/console mode the keyboard and mouse behave differently
• Shift or Caps Lock on, will cause the movement keys to apply to the 'self-entity'. Shift moves entity, not shift moves camera. So setting caps-lock for example drives the entity, even if the camera is not attached.
• Camera starts as not attached. Can be: not attached, attached as first person, attached as third person. It may take several taps of the key to attach or detach the camera.
