    First, is there a function that will return which keys are pressed? It looks like the Input.GetKey() you have to ask if a specific key is pressed.

    Second, what would be the preferred way to allow a user to remap the keys, for instance, if they wanted different up and down keys?

    The screen selector contains a key configuration dialog.

    So instead of using Input.GetKey use Input.GetButton with virtual axes.
    Then your users can simple modify keyboard input to whatever they like and you don't have to put any effort into it at all.

    Also there is a Input.inputString function which gives you what the users has typed during the last frame.

    Thank you for the reply. I will have to give those 2 functions a closer look.
