Other than the above, the Shift + 0, Shift + 1, ..., Shift + 9 key combinations are used to start events, defined previously in the scenery. It may sound dangerous and hard to understand. Don't worry :) Shift + 2 might not work in every scenery. In every scenery that requires the use of these key combinations, a appropriate info is given in the Rainsted launcher. Most sceneries have been improved and the need for those key combinations have been minimised.
