rewrites, mostly at the end of the article; I removed the "Startup options" section because it's totally redundant of the Customizing page, and I don't feel like fixing mistakes in two places

-All of Oni's files will be found in a folder called [[Oni (folder)|Oni]] (default is C:\Program Files\Oni on Windows /Applications/Oni on the Mac). The name does not have to be Oni, however: you can rename it to anything you want (see below for customization notes).
+All of Oni's files will be found in a folder called [[Oni (folder)|Oni]] (default is '''C:\Program Files\Oni''' on Windows, and '''/Applications/Oni''' on the Mac). The name of the folder does not have to be "Oni"; the game application can be renamed, too, but it is not recommended (some community tools expect the app to be called by its original name).

-===key_config.txt===
-Oni does not allow you to change your controls from within the game's Options screen, but keyconfig.txt, a plain text file located in your Oni folder, can be edited manually. See [[Customizing/Binding|HERE]] for instructions on how to bind keyboard and mouse events to Oni actions.
-===Command-line parameters===
-All versions of the engine accept a certain number of [[Customizing#Command-line_arguments|command-line arguments]], which modify the way it runs. These are mostly intended for developers (like turning off sound or generating advanced debug output). A useful command for players is -noswitch (makes Oni run in "windowed mode"), but it is flawed on Macs, and has been made redundant by the latest [[Daodan DLL]] on Windows.
-===Shift key at startup===
-On the Mac, pressing Shift at startup lets you specify controls and command-line parameters from a handy dialog box. (On Windows, this Shift feature is broken).
