keyboard shortcuts for QFG1 VGA?

[chaospearl]

Is there a list somewhere? I'm not physically able to use a mouse, so I'm keymapping onto a ps4 controller and it works surprisingly well, for the most part. I do have some trouble with combat because I can't move the cursor fast enough between the different actions on screen. I did some Googling and realized there are shortcuts for one or two actions, which makes me think maybe there are more I don't know about. The reference card has a ton of them for the non-VGA version, some of which work on VGA and some do not, seemingly at random. I can open the char status screen with one button but not the time of day screen and it's maddening.

Outside of a few DOS standards like ESC opening the toolbar, the function keys and the cursor keys there are not too many SCI1.1 specific keyboard hot keys or shortcuts. Function keys: F3 repeating the last thing you typed or . F5 opens the save dialog, F7 opens the load saved game dialog, F9 restarts.

Well, F3 won't do anything for QFG1VGA. But yeah, not a lot of game-specific controls for Sierra games. Just a lot of that good ol' pointing and clicking.

If it helps - and you're using DOSBox you can slow down/speed up cycles as needed - so that combat moves slower.
