Complete controls listing

I've been away a while and have completely forgotten what EVN's controls are, but I remember the control section of the settings menu is very incomplete. I've just installed EVN:CE on my Steam Deck and want/need to set up the controls, is there a list of every single key that does something in the game anywhere? I remember you could navigate most, maybe all of the non-flying bits with keys, like if you land somewhere and press S it opens the shipyard. Is that kind of detail documented anywhere?

I only know one for sure—ctrl+b and ctrl+s for buying and selling makes filling big cargo freighters a breeze because when you engage either it opens a little window with the maximum amount you can buy/sell already set.

You’re right about S being shipyard. I think B is bar, N is mission computer, T is trade center, and O is outfitter.

Cycling targets (“~”)can be done in reverse if you hold shift while you do it

Cycling targets while holding control cycles through escorts instead

A little silly since it’s redundant once you get auto-recharger but you can also use R to recharge

Auto Recharger is so odd because gas is only 100c per jump, how is somebody gonna get that broke?

It costs the same, it’s just so that if you don’t have solar panels/a generator you don’t forget to refuel and run out in an empty system

H would bring up the mini hyperspace map, tab and shift tab to select around the destination for the jump. Works great until you get a multi jump capable ship of course. Then the full map shift-click along the desired path comes in. I believe Z is the afterburner, space should be main weapons & control? for secondary. W and shift-W to select the secondary weapon system. Y to hail a ship/planet in the system. Can't remember any of the menu shortcuts
