[hide]Default Key Assignments
Linux users will find the following key assignments in /usr/lib/Oolite/oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist (assuming you did a default installation!).

Changing Key Assignments
If you want to change key assignments don't alter the default file. Instead copy keyconfig.plist from
/usr/lib/Oolite/oolite.app/Contents/Resources/Config/ to
/usr/lib/Oolite/AddOns/Config/.
(Note that you may need to create the Config directory first.)
You can edit keyconfig.plist with any standard text editor. You'll find a list of Linux keycodes here. Note that Oolite uses decimal values whereas most keycodes are expressed in hexadecimal. This can cause confusion. For example the comma key produces a keycode of 2C (hex) which translates to 44 (decimal), whereas keycode 44 (hex) refers to the uppercase "D" key, which is actually 68 (decimal)! (If you don't have a hex/decimal calculator handy try this table.)
Undocumented Keys
The following keys aren't yet official so your mileage may vary!
| Action | Key | Keycode (Dec) | Keycode (Hex) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toggle Mouse Conrol | Shift + M | 77 | 4D | When activated, the mouse becomes a virtual joystick. The left mouse button fires and the right should re-centre your ship. |
