Keyboard Shortcuts

ScummVM supports various in-game keyboard shortcuts.

Note

Using Ctrl+f or Ctrl+g is not recommended. Games can crash when being run faster than their normal speed, as scripts will lose synchronisation.

Common:

Ctrl+F5                - Displays the Global Menu
Cmd+q                  - Quit (Mac OS X)
Ctrl+q                 - Quit (other unices including Linux)
Alt+F4                 - Quit (Windows)
Ctrl+z                 - Quit (other platforms)

                         resolution, which may look squashed on
                         modern monitors. Aspect-ratio correction
                         stretches the image to use 320x240 pixels
                         instead, or a multiple thereof

                         This can also be triggered by a long press
                         of the middle mouse button or wheel.
