<img src="controls.png" class="screenshot">
<p>
To change a control, click on the box and then press the key or mouse button you wish to use. To clear a control, press Backpress. To cancel updating a control, press escape (not that therefore neither Backspace nor Escape can be set as controls). Note that the same key or mouse button can be set for multiple controls. Keys are represented by their name, whereas mouse buttons are donated by "Btn X", where X is the number of the mouse button.
</p>
<p>
Controls be can restored to their default settings by clicking the "Restore Defaults" button.
