Standard controls

Standard in-game controls

Those controls are processed at all games scripts, except for Escape From The Mansion.

All games Enter Ok

Some games Esc / F1 Open Menu Some games opens menu on Esc only.
Some games <Any key> Skip dialog line

Since "Open menu" action can always be done with Esc, there is no reason for additional remapping of separate F1 key.
