Modals are the worst ux in games. If it's only a few buttons anyway you can just show them somewhere as hints while the user isn't giving input or until they used then. Eg just show a "m for Map\nspace to fire" until the user used each, hiding them each when the m/space is used respectively for that session (session storage so it shows up again if the user comes back later)
