Key Bindings

What to press? This guide is meant as a quick pull up to see what the keybinds are if you (like me) just jump straight into the game and wonder ??? now.

Controls!

  • Escape/Q – open main menu
  • WASD – Movement
  • Hold right click and mouse move – Camera
  • Left click – Dig at cursor
  • Scroll mouse wheel – zoom camera AND choose dig size (more zoomed = smaller tool)
  • Tab – Open inventory
  • E – Interact (open door, get on horse, gather water)
  • Note! hold E to get out of a car
  • F – Torch (or lights in a car)
  • C or middle mouse – place a marker (place them in a loop to make a boundary)
  • Delete – remove a marker
  • Space – jump (brake when in a car)
  • Shift – Hold to run
  • 1,2,3 – Horse speed
  • 4 – open minimap
  • 5 – open/close journal/notebook

Notes: You can’t use many commands on horseback.

Apparently Shift & + or – alters time of day, but I don’t have those keys on my keyboard. You can get daylight back by resting in your tent.

Tips

From the main menu, go to “demo” mode to learn the basics. Really, it’s a good idea to do this – this guide will help in game, but the demo area gives a good quick intro to all controls.

My first game was Naughty Dog’s Crash Bandicoot (PlayStation) back in 1996. And since then gaming has been my main hobby. I turned my passion for gaming into a job by starting my first geek blog in 2009. When I’m not working on the site, I play mostly on my PlayStation. But I also love outdoor activities and especially skiing.
