Are there key bindings for replay controls?

I'm messing around more with replays lately and thought about mapping buttons for the replay controls, but there was no option for them. Are there any key assignments for the replay controls?
 
By default you can use the arrow keys for play, pause, slow motion. You can assign a key for fast forward. Plus you can use the cam keys on insert, delete, page up, page down, end and pos1 and in swingman you can additionally use the arrow keys of the numpad. If you assign 'zero free move' you can use the mouse to control the angle. Plus there are some additional cam keys you can use to move, forgot how they are called.
 
Thanks, that helped me figure out the following...

Replay controls
It's always in play mode and these keys have the following action:

Up Arrow = stop (must hold down)
Down Arrow = Slow Motion (must hold down)
Right Arrow = Scan Forward = fast forward (must hold down)
Left Arrow = Backwards (must hold down)
Ctrl Left Arrow = Scan Backwards = fast backwards (must hold down)
Enter = toggles the on-screen menu

None of these are listed in the key assignments and the functions are not listed in Controller.JSON.

Space bar: pauses the replay and allows using arrows but maintaining paused situation after unpressing them.
 
Hi Emery, something that has made it a lot easier for me with replays is mapping the camera controls to WASD like a first person shooter. It makes controlling the virtual camera much more intuitive for me.

Specifically this is what I do:

Cam forward: W
Cam backward: S
Cam left: A
Cam right: D
Cam up: Q
Cam down: E
Cam tilt left: R
Cam tilt right: T
Cam zoom in: shift
Cam zoom out: ctrl
Cam move slow: Z
Free move: X

Obviously then just use the mouse to point the camera around.
 
I like what you've done with the cam controls, though I'll probably make some dedicated buttons for them.

In general, cam controls aren't such a big deal because they're mappable from the UI, but having the VCR controls mappable is desireable.
