+## Keyboard Mapping
+
+### Special Functions
+
+Extra Vanilla functionality can be accessed through these keyboard shortcuts. On platforms like the [Steam Deck](https://github.com/vanilla-wiiu/vanilla/wiki/Steam-Deck), these can be mapped to the back grip buttons.
+
+| Function              | Key           |
+| --------------------- | ------------- |
+| Start/Stop Recording  | F5            |
+| Take Screenshot       | F12           |
+| Disconnect            | Esc           |
+
+### Gameplay
+
