Hotkeys Descriptions in Language Files

Hotkeys have a keycode that the game translates into a string for displaying in the hotkey menu. Some of these strings are contained in the language file. Other keys are turned into strings using the Windows API GetKeyNameTextA.

The following list summarizes the strings that are displayed for each keycode in the hotkey menu for HD. Unlisted keycodes are blank or whitespace in the hotkey menu.
