Key Bindings

The following are the basic keys enabled in Terasology for you to interact with the world. There are additional keys with Debug Features enabled

• [W,A,S,D] - Movement
• [E] - Activate (Chest, TNT, etc)
• [Q] - Throw held (block) item (hold down to charge for a longer throw!)
• [Space] - Jump
• [Double Space] - God mode (fly / no-clip)
• [Shift] - Hold to run
• [Left click] - Activate left click action (default = place block)
• [Right click] - Activate right click action (default = remove block)
• [Mouse wheel up/down] - Cycle through toolbar slots
• [1..0] - Change the active toolbar slot
• [I] - Toggle inventory screen
• [H] - Hide user interface
• [F] - Toggle viewing distance (near, moderate, far, ultra)
• [Tab] - Toggle developer console
• [Escape] - Show/hide the game menu screen
• [F3] - Toggle debug mode and information
• [F4] - Different debug metrics
• [F5] - Show block picker GUI element

Debug Features

These keys are only active if the player first uses F3 to enter debug mode

• [Arrow up/down] - Adjust the current time in small steps
• [P] - Activate first-person player camera
• [O] - Activate animated spawning point camera
• [K] - Kills the player

Inventory

There are a fair bit of nice shortcuts that work in the inventory

• Using the mousewheel over an item stack will add/remove items from it
  • Left-CTRL will do so at double speed (2 items at a time)
• Shift-clicking on an item will insta-move it from one side to another in a transfer (like inventory to chest) - or should that be made CTRL instead?
• Right-clicking an item stack will pick up half of it (or drop a single item if used with a stack held over an empty or compatible stack)
