I injured my wrist so I'm looking for games to play with one hand. I've been looking forward to FTL and I'm wondering if I could play it with only one hand. I know it's a real-time game with a pause button, but how exactly do the controls work? is it primarily done with the mouse, or are there a lot of keyboard commands? Most importantly, are there any commands that require two keys to be pressed at once (i.e. shift + a letter key) or are there any shift-clicks or ctrl-clicks required?

Thanks!

You play with the mouse.

When you need to micromanage things more closely, you hit pause by pressing space on the keyboard.

I guess you could place the keyboard north of your mouse and extend the index a bit to press space as needed.

You can press escape to see the main menu in non-combat situations with mouse hand.

Sounds good. Switching between the mouse and spacebar won't be too hard. In fact, with my programmable mouse I might just map the spacebar to a spare mouse button and make the game entirely mouse-controlled.

Thanks for the info!
