Throttle: Left Trigger
Full Reverse: Left Shoulder
It is also possible to map the throttle to a control with an input range such as an external throttle device.
By default, this device would then control your full range of linear motion, with forward applying forward thrust, back applying reverse thrust, and resting the control at the center of its axis to stop the ship. It is possible, however, to make the entire range of motion only apply to forward movement, thereby making the ship stop by pulling the control all the way back. This is done by toggling the Bi-directional Throttle setting in the Controls submenu of the Options menu to Off.
If Bi-directional throttle is off, how do you move the ship in reverse? It is possible to map a control to invert the axis controlling the throttle. With this key held down, moving the control forward would apply full reverse thrust rather than full forward thrust. At the moment, this is only mapped for the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog stick.
Strafe
Strafe controls apply the ship's thrusters to directly move the ship up, down, left, or right without changing the ship's attitude. These thrusters are completely independent of the ship's engines, and can be operated while the ship is already in motion.
