Controls, wut?
I bought the game two days ago, I enjoy it. But some things confuses me, e.g. why is there no option to change keyboard keys or even look up what they are?

By trial and error I found out that you can move the screen around using the WASD-keys. the game tells about about SPACE for pausing the game, and you can hover the mouse pointer over ingame icons to get a little tooltip with highlighted shortcuts.

After scrolling the screen around to look over the map I wanted to get back to and center the screen to my unit... which key does that, is there even a key for that? HOME did nothing, C opens the inventory same as I, the Options meny tells me nothing, searching the Steam discussion board gives me nothing.

How can a modern computer game not have any in-game info and/or option select concerning the keyboard controls?

Edit: By simply pressing all the keys ever, I found that the X key centers the screen on my unit. But my point still stands, why is there no way to read about this ingame, or change the keyboard bindings? Many keys also do the same key thing as other keys; Q and A both makes the screen scroll left, Z and S both make the screen scroll down, etc.

there are some tooltips for the hotkeys.

I still agree that otkey customization is a must

Basically all those options are visible when you hover over the respective key at top right corner of the screen, both in battle and out at world map.

It took me embarrasingly long to figure it out.
