  3. Access the Controls Menu:

    • In the top menu bar, click on "Options," and from the dropdown menu, select "Controls."
  4. Select Your Control Device:

    • In the "Controls" menu, you'll see a list of control devices on the left side. Choose the control device for which you want to set key assignments. This could be your keyboard, joystick, or other input device.
  5. Assign or Edit a Key Command:

    • In the center of the "Controls" menu, you'll see a list of commands and functions. To assign or edit a key command for a specific function, select the function by clicking on it.
