The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Keyboard Controls
Daggerfall still moves on the arrow keys and turns rather than strafes by default — sliding sideways is Ctrl plus an arrow. The Steam release runs the original DOS game, so these are Bethesda's own defaults: the Hot Keys card from the 1996 manual (reprinted in ZeniMax's later reissue booklet) plus the movement table from the same manual.
