idcontrols on the console)

Cswim down
gamepadLeft stick moves, right stick looks, RT fires, A or LT jumps, bumpers change weapon, Start the menu (D-pad, A and B work it), Back the scores. idcontrols on the console gives id's own joystick (after joystick 1). A browser sees a pad once a button is pressed
Fight
clickfire
Ctrlfire (DOS-style — arrows + Ctrl play fine without capturing the mouse)

wheelswitch weapon — up next, down previous (the slop preset's; Classic: id's, unbound)
Interface
any keythe menu, while a demo plays
Escmenu / back — with the mouse captured, Esc releases it and opens the menu. In fullscreen on Chrome/Edge Esc just toggles the menu (hold it to leave fullscreen); elsewhere a second Esc leaves fullscreen (browser rule)
Tabhold for the scoreboard (monsters, secrets, time)

F6 / F9quicksave / quickload (id's own binds — also F1 help, F2/F3 the Save/Load screen, F4 Options, F10 quit, F12 a screenshot — a .pcx file in this page's storage, not a download yet; F12 only reaches the game in fullscreen, where the browser keeps it for devtools otherwise)
