Identify the experience and find the keyboard input you need.

Check the creator and Alpha label before following an old control chart or a same-name game.

Search an action, select a starting hand when needed, and walk through the keys. A static reference remains available below.

Separate the setup, the input and the finish.

E, Space and Shift have different jobs. Start with the action and your movement state, then read the keys.

A self lob and a pass to a teammate are different actions. Number keys, modifiers and repeated taps tell them apart.

Read the starting hand and the order of each input.

A full spin is a sequence, not three keys held together. Reverse the sequence when the starting hand changes.

Keep the post modifier separate from the direction and finishing key. The same letter can do another job in another state.
