Playing the game these past days, I've come across several keys that don't work as indicated in the manual (default Windows install, P:R v. 1.0, manual v. 1.0.3). Note that this is not an exhaustive list, just those I have come across.
alt+s Should enslave captured pilots. Does nothing.
F1 Should switch to HUD/Fullscreen mode. First time pressing F1 after leaving a base/planet it fails (consistently, at least first time after starting the game). Subsequent attempts work fine.
O Should "blank MFD". Does nothing.
o Should "display current mission objectives MFD". Does nothing.
alt-e Should toggle ECM device. Hitting it causes ECM status to blink disabled for a nanosecond before returning to enabled.
del Should roll right. Does nothing.
del Should roll left. Does nothing.
alt+# Should assign target to the # (e.g. 1). Does nothing. (see ctrl+#)
ctrl+# Should recall assigned target. Does nothing. It's not immediately clear which of the assign/recall functions that work (or don't). Suffice to say that at least one does not.
Not working on non-US keyboard (Danish, fwiw. trying both the key that it would have been, had the keyboard been a US one and the one it actually is on a Danish keyboard):
= Should increase speed.
\ Should set max speed.
` Shelton slide.
; Respawn after death.
[ Switch control from current to targeted ship. (might work)
The astute will note that these are all the keys that are not located in the same place as on a US keyboard - and all some that require holding down shift or "Alt Gr" (alternate alt, located where the right alt button normally is, allowing the user access to more chars).
