+Almost all players at some point will remap (rebind) the default keyboard (and probably mouse) actions
+to keys that satisfy their requirements. Feel free to play with key bindings and try to get the most
out of it. Just remember that once you got used to some specific layout it will be difficult to
switch to something else.
