How do you perform "walk" with keyboard?

[Lulcy]

There's only fast walk and high profile running and can't find it in the config menu, due to this I can't pass the tutorial asking me to gently push npcs while walking.

[R3troSim]

Use the Legs command (Space by default) to Blend (i.e. walk), whilst in Low Profile mode, in combination with a movement key (i.e. W, S, A, D).

EDIT (as per BloodyMares's post):
Separately, you can use the Gentle Push command (Left Shift by default) to perform a gentle push.

From the manual (page 6):

1.3.2.1 Free Roaming: Low Profile
Space: Blend
Press and hold the Legs key to blend in and pass close to informed soldiers unnoticed. The ancestor moves more slowly when blending.

Left Shift Key: Gentle Push
Press and hold the Empty Hand button to perform a gentle push. A gentle push is socially acceptable and will allow the ancestor to get past citizens without making them drop what they are holding.

You walk in Low Profile by default. Blend (Space / Legs button) and Gentle Push (Shift / Empty Hand button) are entirely different actions for different purposes. Pressing both of them at the same time will do nothing. For that tutorial mission, you just need to HOLD Empty Hand (Shift / B) and simply move forward. Gentle Push allows you to bypass the crowds and carriers without them breaking stuff.

Blend action on the other hand is used for becoming invisible to guards if you want to pass by them unnoticed. Blending is not walking and slows you down considerably. Use it only when you want to move undetected.

Sorry - this is correct!

It's been a while since I've played and was working from memory / manual reference.

I've amended my original post to reflect that the two commands are indeed separate.

Thanks for pointing this out
