Keybindings are the assigned input to all of the various in-game commands. They are completely customizable to the extent that you can map any key to any command if so desired.
- Letters and key strings can be writted as is (such as F1 or ENTER). They are case-sensitive.
- Numbers and symbols must be encased between square brackets followed by double quotes (such as ["1"] or [":"]).
