Key Board Shortcuts

General control methodology

In designing the controls for Hippotizer, we have made some assumptions:

• Users will always have at least two-button mouse with scroll wheel
• A screen resolution of 1280 × 720 minimum, 1920 × 1080 or greater is ideal.
• A keyboard is present for naming and keyboard shortcuts though not critical.

Engine Short-cuts
