[Feature Request] Pre-configure keyboard controls

[dreamer]

This is a follow-up issue to for feature request from Discord; @microsofttakeover

Not for all games as it could result in confusion for people accustomed to old, default controls - but specifically for FPS games this would be a very welcome addition.

Some FPS titles already come preconfigured with modern control schemes (e.g. Doom), but many don't (e.g. HeXen, Heretic).

For some titles I will refuse to implement this, even when it's technically easy and possible (I suspect Descent might be one of such games).

When possible, this should be achieved through editing user configuration (on first run only) - using similar mechanism as midi_on/midi_off. For some games, we might need to provide custom dosbox keyboard mappers (I think e.g. for Wolfenstein 3D - which requires 2 keys pressed to strafe).

I suggest following scheme:

• movement: WSAD - (where A, D means strafing, like in modern games)
• crouching: C (or left Ctrl?) -- I don't know which one is preferable; personally I prefer C
• jumping: space -- I don't use space for jumping personally, but it IS a default in modern games
• interaction: E (or space, if not already taken by jump)

I prefer "F" for interaction, as Q/E are often reserved for leaning. For these reasons, I sometimes bind Q/E to rotate, while A/D is for strafing if leaning is not there.

Press "F" to pay respects.
