Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Keyboard & Mouse Control Guide

Where can I get a complete list of command controls for operating the aircraft using my keyboard & mouse?  I've been trying to go through the Training program but get stuck because there is no help for this in the program...  I don't have any experience using this simulator but would like to learn it.  Is there a good instruction manual for this simulator?  Would getting a joystick be a better learn control, if so, what would you recommend for a novice?

    Is there something which can be printed - on less than 3 pages?

    Most of what you link to is a long list of defintions, with LOTS of whitepace, images, and ads - will probably require at least a dozen pages.)  In other words the information to noise ratio is terrible.

    Thanks for your help Greg - it was just the info I needed to get started.  I'm thinking I better get a joystick if I'm ever going to get off the ground.  Do you have any recommendations on one that would be good for a novice MFS2020 user?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    I there a list of AVAILABLE key commands, i.e. a list of possible commands, not necessarily assigned yet?  There is a dearth of command lists of default commands, but I am struggling to find a list of potential commands.

    Thanks!
