These are the default keybindings. They can be changed using the keymapper.
Note: If you're using a Mac and are having trouble with the function keys, you may need to set your F keys to function as function keys. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard, going to the Keyboard area, and checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc" box.

| ALT-ENTER | Switch to full-screen (and back). |
| ALT-PAUSE | Pause emulation. |
