Keys

Lives in: optional keybindings.json

Which keys (and mouse buttons) fire which actions. Skip the file until you need different confirm keys, a custom Back key, or controller-friendly remaps.

Remap file

Arrays you list for an action replace the defaults for that action:

{
  "dialogue_advance": ["Space", "Enter", "MouseLeft"],
  "dialogue_back": ["Backspace"],
  "pause": ["Escape"]
}

Common actions: dialogue_advance, dialogue_back, pause, plus choice numbers and menu navigation. Locale overlay: keybindings_<locale>.json.

Author builds keep debug F-keys; released player builds strip author-only shortcuts โ€” How you work.

Back behaviour (what Back does in the story): Save, Back and story end.
