Sensible Soccer controls

One button, from the manual

With the ball, a tap of fire passes. Holding fire kicks toward the way the player is facing, which is how you shoot. Without the ball, fire is a slide if the ball is below chest height, and a header or diving header if the ball is above the chest.

Aftertouch is the part people remember. As soon as the ball leaves the foot, push a direction to bend it, lift it, or keep it down. The manual says an earlier push has a stronger effect.

Named keys in the original, separate from the ones you bind: P pauses, R replays, H shows highlights, S shows stats.

OpenSWOS defaults, labelled as OpenSWOS

The playing notes for OpenSWOS set movement on the arrow keys. Fire is Right Ctrl, Space, Left Ctrl, or Enter. P pauses, S opens stats, R is the instant replay, H is the post-match replay. Triple-tapping a direction opens the substitution menu. This is not a player-switch shortcut.

On a pad, A or B is fire, Start or plus pauses, Back or minus opens stats, Y is replay, X is the post-match replay, and the shoulder buttons open the bottom-team and top-team substitution menus respectively. That is the project's map. It is not a reconstruction of the SNES pad.
