Keyboard commands list
By kazereal
List of undocumented keyboard commands.

There are multiple commands that currently are not documented and not configurable (or are they?).
This is quick list to collect into single place those found through experimentation or found at various forum messages.

If you know of any document please let me know as well :)

Pitstop quickmenu
Since v1.13 there's quickmenu to select pitstop options like tyre compound, preset, fuel amount and repairs. This uses D-pad as mentioned in changlogs and can be edited in configuration files.

Press on D-pad to bring it up, wait a short time and it disappears automatically. Pretty simple.

To customize it see: system/cfg/pitstop.ini

Looking at configuration files things like starter (ignition) is somewhat in there (placeholder in configuration) but no UI and no need(?) in races?

  • STARTER - no functionality?

Not verified, may work, might not

Does not work for me although it is in configuration files as MOUSE_STEERING
  • Ctrl+M - mouse steering
Main menu
While in main menu
  • F11 - switch windowed/fullscreen mode
  • Ctrl+T - theme selection (you need to add at least one to make it show)
