Controls

The game controls are the inputs by which the player directs movement and other game functions.

Default controls
The default controls, in vanilla Doom, for the most often-used functions are as follows.


 * 1) The single-key strafe controls (comma and period) are not listed in the instruction manuals
 * 2) The strafe key changes the left and right turn keys into left and right strafe keys
 * 3) The run key increases the speed of movement

Consult the game instruction manual regarding weapon selection keys, function keys and other controls.

Joystick
The joystick is more awkward than the keyboard and mouse combination, and is thus not used very often by Doom players, but the run button setting of the joystick in the configuration file (joyb_speed) will have the effect of allowing the player to always run (as if the key assigned to key_speed were always pressed) if set to 29 (or 31).
