This page lists all the keys and their functions. Keys can be re-assigned by editing the corresponding entry in the eu07_input-keyboard.ini file.
Keys marked as Num... are keys on the numeric keypad (on the side). Remember to turn on the NumLock. Using the 3 key will not replace the Num 3 key! Same goes for the rest of the Num... keys. If you have a laptop without a numberpad / numeric keyboard, try to use Fn key + the desired key.

012…9 | Different camera positions | In free-flying mode (F4 key) pressing a key with a number (from the upper pane of the keyboard [ie Non-numeric]) will remember the camera's position, if it has not been set previously. Further clicks will teleport to the location (change is not possible). Camera's position is saved in the log file, so that it would be possible to copy it into a scenery later |

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. Also with MaSzyna 16.08 and newer, most sceneries have been improved and the need for those key combinations have been minimised.
