I tried the demo of a game called “Grim Fandango”. It is a really good and it was a game of the year so I’d like to buy it. The problem is the keys… Up, down, left, right and Enter are okay in the demo but it’s the other buttons I cannot reach, like P, I etc. I have a Muscular Dystrophy so it is hard for me. My question is for people with the full game, can the buttons be customized (Tab, left Shift, Q, W, A, 1, 2 etc.)? It can’t be in the demo...

No, the game controls cannot be customized. I've copied the controls for the game below. It's one of the best games I've ever played-- it is even better when you play it with other people (the game is quite funny). You need to be able to drive a car and use a fire extinguisher in different parts of the game. Hope you can play it!

From the readme file (lost some formating):

Keyboard Commands: Movement
Move forward Numpad-8
Move backwards Numpad-2
Turn right Numpad-6
Turn left Numpad-4
Run Shift-Numpad-8

You can also use the cursor (arrow) keys on your keyboard to move around in the game.
If you’re in camera-relative mode (see “Movement Modes” below), you can also use the 1-3-7-9 keys to move diagonally.


Keyboard Commands: Actions
Keyboard Keyboard
Numpad Mnemonic Left-hand
Examine item 5 E S
Pick up item, put item away + P A
Use item/ Talk to character Enter U (or Enter) W
Inventory 0 (Ins) I D
- Scroll through inventory 4 & 6
- Put item in hand Enter Enter
Look at next nearby item Numpad Delete
Pause Pause
Skip dialog line Numpad Delete or Period
Skip cutscenes ESC
Quit game Alt-X or Alt-Q
Enable/Disable joystick/gamepad Ctrl-J
