The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard Keyboard Controls
Redguard is the one Elder Scrolls game played on the arrow keys: Cyrus turns rather than strafes, Ctrl both acts and swings the sword, and Alt both parries and frees the camera. Steam sells the original 1998 DOS build in a Glide-capable DOSBox wrapper, so the defaults are the Controls Summary on page 1 of the retail manual, and all of them can be changed in the Controls menu (F6).
