I'm looking for a list of every keyboard control in Skyrim. Bonus points for the mouse too.

What is "automove"? – jmfsg♦ Nov 16 '11 at 21:02

Character walks forward without the player holding W – Arkive Nov 16 '11 at 21:04
and also caps lock toggles sneak/crouch on and off (useful if you want to sneak for a while and don't want to hold down shift the whole time) – user23229 Apr 3 '12 at 20:36

F5 performs a quick save and F9 performs a quick load as well. Left Mouse is by default your primary hand(right hand) and Right Mouse is the secondary hand (left hand) which can be confusing.
