I've been replaying the Thief series & made it partway through Thief 2 before I got sidetracked for several months.
I picked up where I left off ("ambush") and discovered that I've forgotten how to get Garrett to climb through windows. I tried crouching in front of the window & then jumping through - No luck & makes a lot of noise.
Is there a key combination I've forgotten to get me through a window?
Thanks...

Which window? The one just past the start (where you climb to the flat roof then enter the door off the garden), is a tough one.
The ones at his house and elsewhere can be entered or exited in the routine manner. Move to the window, and shift W to move into the window. (Jump, Move forward). Just like jumping to the top of a low wall.
Sometimes you need to LEAN into the window.
Later in LIFE OF THE PARTY, the window from lady Vernon's to the street, or back to the tower need you to run at the window, jump and CROUCH IN MID AIR.
But most windows are either a Jump, W, or a lean, jump W.

It was the window leaving his bedroom.
Shift-W did the trick (unfortunately, I went flying out the window into the street below where the guards were waiting for me..).
After reloading, I was more careful and got out of the window just fine.
Thanks for your help.

That smarts, don't it. Can't tell you how many times I've done the same thing. :p
Glad you made it.
