The game uses the following controls. PC version refers to the controls with their labelled names, the PS version uses button symbols (for most part, anyway, there are still some slips in it that show labels instead).

PlayStation	PC (Number Pad)	Button	Explanation
	←↑→↓	Directional buttons	These move the lead character and the pointer in the menus.
	Enter	[OK]	Confirm choice in menus. Attempt to use/activate the item in front of the character (open chests, climb ladders, etc), or talk to an NPC.
	+	[Menu]	Opens the menu.
	0 / Ins	[Cancel]	Back one level in menus, or close the menu in question. Outside of the menus (but not in the overworld), hold down to make the character run.
	. / Delete	[Switch]	Toggle between Equip and Materia screens. In combat, makes the command menu disappear temporarily so you can check your barrier gauges.
	5	[Start]	In world map, changes map display. Pauses during battle.
