PDF for manual and keyboard shortcuts?

[ls35a]

Is there one? I looked in the steam folder and couldn't find anything.

Would be nice to have....

Go to options when you first launch the game. You can look at the keybindings and such there. There will almost undoubtedly be a tutorial, or a starting guide, or something of the sort for the finished game, but since it's still under construction, there are more important things than making a guide that could become outdated as the game evolves. In the meantime, go ahead and ask any questions on the forums, most of us are happy to help.

My question is 'can I get a PDF of the keyboard commands'?

And I guess the answer is 'no'. Going into the game and writing down all the bindings.. kind of silly. It's like every person who plays the game has to reinvent the wheel.

Is there an XML file somewhere for the key commands?

Most of the keys have not been finalised so there is no definitive list.

You can read the current ones (and possibly alter them) from gameconfig.xml

Weird you have zoom in twice and no zoom out, so possible bug in the saving of the keybind file.

That is unless you have already been in and manually editing it?

Straight copy/paste from the xml, never bothered to alter the keybinds so that should be vanilla.
