Your own keys
Every key on this page is the one the game starts with. You can change them all: press Ctrl+F to see every action and pick its keys. Q T F Z X C are quick slots. Hold Shift and press one to save the last spell or item you used on it. Then press it alone to use it again.
The middle mouse button and the two side buttons can take an action too, the same way as a key.
