Hey, so not a Dev here but I searched several times and all I end up finding is programming tutorials on how to customize buttons, what I do want to know is what are the default buttons for Ren'Py, more specifically autoforward since some devs choose to hide it for some reason, so if anyone knows, do tell please.
Not sure I understand your question. If you want to see a bare-bones default Ren'py game, just download the
As for Autoforward, it's not a 'button' per se, but it's an option that appears on the quick menu at the bottom of the screen, if you have that enabled. I honestly never used it myself but it's still on my quick menu for both my VN's.

Default Renpy keybinds are in the framework file `renpy/common/00keymap.rpy`.
There is a page in the documentation that discusses these defaults and how developers can override them:

Regards your specific question: there is no "key" set to toggle the Autoforward behaviour.
(In a default renpy game) If you look at the `game/screens.rpy` file, you will find the definition of "screen quick_menu():" In here it has the "Auto" text button definition which uses the action "Preference" to toggle the "auto-forward" setting. If the game you are playing has removed the "auto" button from the quick menu, you could restore it by the following:
(note: I am assuming you are playing on PC, or at least the game emulator(?) you are using shows the normal menu variants, not the Mobile ones)
1. Find the existing "screen quick_menu" entry in the `game/screens.rpy`file, it's possible the developer did not DELETE the Auto line from their screen definition, maybe you can just un-comment it. OTHERWISE:
2. create a file `zzz_myscreens.rpy`in any location under the `game` folder, and copy the contents of the whole "screen quick_menu" block to your new file.
3. edit the screen definition in your new file to re-add the Auto button alongside the other buttons
Code:
textbutton _("Auto") action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")If you *really* want a specific key you can use to turn autoforward on and off, you could also edit the "screen quick_menu" to add a key-trigger for the auto-forward, like this (last line):
Code:
screen quick_menu():
## Ensure this appears on top of other screens.
zorder 100
if quick_menu:
hbox:
style_prefix "quick"
xalign 0.5
yalign 1.0
textbutton _("Back") action Rollback()
textbutton _("History") action ShowMenu('history')
textbutton _("Skip") action Skip() alternate Skip(fast=True, confirm=True)
textbutton _("Auto") action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")
textbutton _("Save") action ShowMenu('save')
textbutton _("Q.Save") action QuickSave()
textbutton _("Q.Load") action QuickLoad()
textbutton _("Prefs") action ShowMenu('preferences')
key "f" action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle")
Code:
textbutton _("Auto") action Preference("auto-forward", "toggle") keysym "K_f"

First of all, huge thanks for the detailed response, I did go to the " screen quick_menu " area in the file and found a line that says:
## This code ensures that the quick_menu screen is displayed in-game, whenever
## the player has not explicitly hidden the interface.
Turns out, I'm a moron and somehow missed a very obvious line in the settings of the game that enables the quick menu, somehow I managed to miss that.
Hopefully someone will find this post in the future and it'll help them, again big thanks for the detailed response.

The full list of default keys are included listed here:

The
shift, alt, alt/shift should be easy to recognize.Where the key name includes something like
K_c - that means the lower case "c" key. K_r would be "r", etc.Sadly, there isn't a default keybinding for auto-forward. RenPy calls it "afm" and you'll see bindings like
toggle_afm in the default keybind list. Its default binding is empty.However, if you check out my ancient post - it includes a file you can copy into 99% of games and it will add "alt + pgup" as the keybind for afm:
