The below official image does not have all the controls.
Missing that i know of in addition to whats listed are:

Escape = exit game/mission option

F9 on a Windows PC = Show ingame mini frame rate numbers on the left portion of the screen

Left Control + mouse = cockpit view around your area. You can see working displays on missile load outs and functional heat sinks left

Left Shift+F11 to toggle it on/off. = Removes/shows Hud display

Tab key shows the roster and status.

B key= Battle Map.

What else is out there?

I've noticed that if you can find your cockpit based mech display (Not the HUD one), using the numkeys you can move around this image and see the current status of components and ammo in those locations. The controls are a bit buggy which is why I think we haven't been told about this but it is there.

Also many thanks for the HUD close/show button. That's been really annoying of late launching with no HUD.

Edit: Holding down "Q" will display all your allies data as though you were mousing over them.

Had forgotten about Q, and i use it quite a bit to track scouts/spotters.

[Telthalion]

I think you meant left Ctrl for the freelook around your cockpit.

Also, backspace to toggle chain fire for your selected weapons group.

[zmeul]

alpha strike is also missing

[ORIGINAL SteelWolf]

Yes i did. Corrected it thanks.

Anyone find a built in screen capture that works? Not fraps or the print screen button. Although i do use fraps. Thats probably down the road in the next patch.

Actually, holding 'Q' (Default keyboard setup) will display data for all alies as well as any enemy that is being detected by you or your team. It acts just the same for the enemies in what's displayed as it does for your team. I believe it displays: Armor Status (If available), 'Mech Variant (Awesome AWS-8Q for example but does not state "Trial" or not), and Pilot Name. Useful if you're hunting a specific person.

Haven't found a built-in screen cap button. I've been using FRAPS like you have.

Is there any way to disable this? I use a footswitch for my PTT key and it's currently bound to F9. In every game I play, I unbind F9 so I don't quickload whenever I talk to people, but I can't seem to find a way to unbind F9 in MWO.
