ScummVM Keymaps: Where to Remap Keyboard, Mouse and Joystick Actions

ScummVM's Keymaps tab is where actions are assigned to keyboard keys or shortcuts, or to mouse or joystick buttons. The same tab is available in two scopes: a global scope that applies from the Launcher's Global Options, and a per-game scope reached through Game Options.

Choose the scope: global or per game

The official documentation separates keymap edits by scope. Global settings are changed from the Launcher by selecting Global Options and then the Keymaps tab. Settings for a specific game are changed from the Launcher by highlighting the game in the games list and selecting the Game Options button. If the Launcher is in grid view, select the game and then the gear icon in the popup window.

• 1. Open the ScummVM Launcher.
• 2. Select Global Options.
• 3. Select the Keymaps tab.
• 4. Assign the actions you want to keyboard keys, shortcuts, or mouse or joystick buttons.

Changing keymaps for a single game

• 1. Open the ScummVM Launcher.
• 2. Highlight the game in the games list and select the Game Options button. In grid view, select the game and then select the gear icon in the popup window.
• 3. Select the Keymaps tab.

Documented action names and keys

The official reference lists named actions alongside internal key identifiers, including Global Main Menu, Toggle mute, Quit, Open Debugger, the virtual mouse actions (up, down, left, right and slow down), Toggle fullscreen, Toggle mouse capture and Save screenshot. These are the labels and identifiers the page documents; it does not state which physical keys are bound by default.
