See the key layout screen in the game menu.

Ah HAH!  Ok, that was a stupid question by me... I recalled seeing the Key menu in passing but forgot to go back to it.

Ok, a follow up question... I suppose.   Is there a way to lock the resolution in place?  I find that when I restart the game it defaults back to 1024 x 768. 

Thanks for the quick reply, and sorry for the initial stupid question :)

Strange, it should save that. You can bypass it by starting up the game with the video mode you want:
Code: [Select]
./ufo(or ufo.exe) +set vid_mode {number}
1024x768 is mode 6. Higher numbers are higher resolutions. 7 is 1152x864. You can also define a custom resolution by setting the video mode to -1 and using vid_height and vid_width:

Code: [Select]
./ufo +set vid_mode -1 +set vid_height 30 +set vid_width 40
This will allow you to play in 30x40 resolution. Well, in theory.

Ah ok, that will certainly do the trick for me.  Thanks again! 

Yeah not sure why its not saving it.. I'll double check to make sure I'm not on crack.

that was a must-try... and... it works in 30x40, too - just hard to hit any button in the menu ;)

Should first person view not work in MP?  Currently it is not...
