Played this for a bit but ran into some trouble with the key mappings. CTRL to crouch means that I can't really press anything else without causing firefox to ruin the game.

* CTRL+R (reload) causes the page to refresh

* CTRL+W (walk forward) attempts to close the current tab

* CTRL+S (walk backward) opens a dialog to save the current page

* CTRL+D (walk right) bookmarks the current page

Luckily firefox shows a confirmation dialog before refresh or closing the tab, but that causes the game to freeze until you dismiss it.

Also sound didn't work at all

Say what you like about Apple, but having all these functions on the Cmd key instead is not just more logical, it's actually sane (doubly so for the terminal). I think MS has missed an enormous opportunity when they introduced the Win key; and X11 desktops, toolkits, and apps imitated the more familiar (rather than the better) solutions.

Can't speak for Windows, but GNOME and KDE heavily use the window key by default for DE and window management functions. Applications are pretty free to use control and alt keys to their heart's desire (they're free to use the window key too, but if the DE/WM captures a particular hot key, it won't work... it's not often that applications try to actually use it).

Pretty sure Alt+TAB and Alt+F4 are default window management shortcuts on at least KDE.
