Problem in playing the game, what key does what?

In the settings you can assign the buttons that suit you best.

I have assigned the right button to move forward and having a 5-button mouse, I use the side buttons to frob and use, the wheel can also be pressed, not only roll, with this you can also have some function, so I can do most of it with just the mouse, using the keyboard only occasionally.

Wow, this took me such a long time to figure out. Wiki and training mission are not helpful at all in this regard.

The use key is in the menu Settings described as the inventory use key. Defaulted at ENTER, not U (although maybe I have set this myself in a previous installation, not sure). How could I ever figure out what the key is for dragging bodies and putting out candles? I wouldn't think these are related to inventory. I would rather think this is an action button. In the Actions settings there is the key setting for frob/interact which I had set to U, doesn't work off course.

I would recommend to move the use key setting to the Actions setting category and rename it, so it better describes what it does (not only inventory activation) and you can find it easier.

Well, I am glad at least I got it working at last. I first thought it was maybe a bug in my Linux version of TDM.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
