Default keyboard and mouse controls for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Gray Matter and id Software's 2001 revival of the series, as printed in the original PC manual. B.J. Blazkowicz leans around corners, kicks doors open and toggles to a walk to move quietly, so a handful of stealth keys matter as much as the fire button.
