The third outing keeps the tank-style cursor-key steering of the first two games and piles new moves on top: a sprint on the slash key, duck and crawl on full stop, flares on comma. Vehicles reuse Ctrl and Alt for throttle and reverse, and End plus a direction always gets Lara out. Taken from Core Design's PC manual, which Steam still serves.
