Keyboard & Mouse control

[Jimmy Valavanis]

Having second thoughts I must agree that SPACE for jumping is the best choice, indeed

to have arrow keys (or wasd for NA keyboard keys) for forward/back and strafing left/right.

Using mouse and arrows simultaneously seems a bit awkward, personally when using the mouse I prefer WASD for keyboard, that's why I use turn left / right for arrows (not strafing with arrows) and leave strafing to "A" and "D", so that I will be able to turn left/right with the mouse movement and also be able strafing. When not using the mouse I prefer the arrows for turn left/right and <ALT> + arrows for strafing.

Alt + arrows creates the necessity of holding the key and also alters all keys, so You will have to make all other bindings work regardless of whetver alt is held or not. I've been playing DOOM recently and found it quite nice to have shooting on Lshift and strafing with Z+X, and interacting on del (which, on my laptop's keyboard, it adjacent to the arrows). In this combination jump could be left on space, or maybe Lctrl could be better...

As for fast movement, why not make an "autorun" button? This should not replace the "hold-to-run/walk" button, but a toggle button could be quite nice. And if You mean fast movement to be used only in certain situations - well, if someone will want to speedrun, they can arrange their keys so that holding "run" will not hinder them, or put something heavy on the key - not having autorun will not be a problem. An in-game solution, like stamina, would be required.
