New description:

 Ctrl/functions/tab keys don't work in this game which makes it a bit user
 unfriendly.
 For example CTRL+Q is supposed to offer to quit, while F5 and F7 are
 supposed to offer to save and restore respectively.

 claims] "This is the only game in the series in which the player cannot
 use the keyboard for the game functions". But if that's true, it still
 doesn't mean ScummVM shouldn't cover for it like it did and does for so
 many other things the original authors didn't do.

 If possible, at the very least make it like SCUMM games in which F5 brings
 a central menu, which this game indeed has, just without a shortcut.
