Movement

Orbit: drag to turn, wheel to zoom, right‑drag or two‑finger drag to pan. The arrows turn too; Ctrl with up and down moves in and out, and with left and right slides sideways; Shift is faster — except while this interface is up, where the arrows step the passages.
Walk: W A S D or the arrows to move, drag to look, Shift to stride, wheel to zoom. You stand on the ground wherever you go, so the steps are steps and the edges are edges.
H hides the interface, and brings it back.
V prints the view you are looking at as a ?cam= query string — useful for saying exactly where something is wrong.
