Summary

0011401: Default controls has no way to ctrl-direction attack down-right on some browsers.

Description

The keys n and numpad-3 move the player down-right. However, ctrl-n is the command in some browsers eg Chrome to create a new window, and ctrl-3 switches tabs, meaning there is no actual way to perform ctrl-down-right to attack. This is relevant in situations such as using the Discord spell, and attacking unseen horrors without moving.

(Side note: should it really be assumed that the player does not want to attack frenzied monsters, where they must use ctrl-direction to attack?- Would it be possible to split the "frenzied and insane" status away from the neutral-indifferent status, or even, seeing as I can't recall any other way to create neutral-indifferent enemies, change the behaviour for neutral-indifferent enemies completely?)

Notes
(0032106) NormalPerson7 (reporter) 2018-02-22 22:12	Apparently n works, where is a sticky key version of ctrl. This really should be documented as an alternative when it says "use ctrl-direction to attack", so that reports like this aren't made in the future.
