Controls & Moves
The keyboard layout resembles a typical old console game controller (controller button names in brackets):
ARROW keys |
NAV (RT) |
ALT (LT) |
ENTER (A) |
EDIT (B) |
PLAY (Start) |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The NAV ([]) and ALT keys are modifier keys for the ENTER, EDIT and ARROW keys. They are designed to modify
the opposite keys to their location, so ALT will modify the ARROW keys and NAV will modify ENTER and EDIT (
though there are exceptions).
Screens are getting more detailed from left to right.
Navigating to the next right screen ins only possible if the current cursor position is at field with a filled value.
For example, in the song mode, to switch to the chain view, you need to have a filled value for a chain at the cursor
position.
