… speaker button Playtest Oct 21: "I always accidentally end up hitting Ctrl W in these games, I'm trying to crouch and move forward" (1:19:28, after "I just closed my game"), and "the map doesn't pop up if I press it. It mutes" (1:43:52). - Crouch holds Z (beside left Shift, free on foot). Browsers never hand Ctrl/Cmd+W to the page, so during a night closing the tab asks first (beforeunload; not under automation). - M opens and closes the map (N still does); mute is on the speaker button. The Mute row shows its M cap only with Today's binding. - Prompts follow the bindings: training crouch hint, map legend, Way Out "pinned" caps, Lab station notes. - Lab > Controls > Crouch key / Map key keep Today one setting away; docs/controls.md gains a Ctrl and Cmd+W rule.

What it does. Two Oct 21 playtest complaints. "I just closed my game": crouch on Ctrl plus W closed the tab mid-night. And "the map doesn't pop up… It mutes": M muted the game instead of opening the map.
How it works.
controls/settings.tsmaps the settings to physical codes (crouchCodes,mapCodes,muteOnM). The controller, training hint, map legend, Way Out prompt and volume menu all read them. The Ctrl-shortcut suppression only runs with Today's Ctrl crouch.beforeunloadlistener that checks the latest frame's state when the tab closes. It asks in a co-op room, or more than 30 s into a solo run. It doesn't ask with any menu open (pause included, so Restart, New town and Play seed navigate freely), after the run is over, while you're dead, or under automation. The 30 s restart with each new session.Risk. Client input and HUD only. If the prompt is wrong, you'd see it appear at a menu or not appear mid-night. Players used to Ctrl crouch or M mute get new keys; Today's bindings are one setting away.
Proof. Map legend with M as the close key:
