Game controls

The default controls are listed below. These can be changed from the Settings menu on the Title Screen.

Key	Action	Notes
T	Throw	Tosses the currently selected item a few squares in the direction the character is facing. Does not inflict throwing damage; this is "throw (discard)", not "throw (attack)". To perform "throw (attack)" with a ranged/throwing weapon such as shurikens or a bow, do not use this command; instead, click the left mouse button with the item equipped, same as with melee attacks. You can also throw items by opening the inventory, picking the item you want to throw away and and right-clicking outside the inventory while that item is hold on the cursor.
Esc	Inventory	Opens the inventory and crafting interface (allowing the player to Save and Quit (singleplayer) or Disconnect (multiplayer). If autopause has been enabled the game will pause when this action is performed.
A	Left	Moves your character to the left. Hold the key down for continuous movement.
D	Right	Moves your character to the right. Hold the key down for continuous movement.
S	Down	Makes the character drop down when standing on a Wood Platform. Reverts gravity to normal (when using a Gravitation Potion). Allows the character to go underwater (when using a Water Walking Potion).
W	Up	Toggles gravity for character (when using a Gravitation Potion). Slows down the fall speed (when using a Featherfall Potion).
Space	Jump	Makes your character jump. Hold the key down for a higher jump. Allows "swimming" upwards (repeated jumping) while underwater if Flippers, Diving Gear, or Neptune's Shell is equipped as an Accessory.
0-9	Hotbar Hotkey	Selects an item from the hotbar (1 being the leftmost, and 0 being the rightmost). The hotbar is the uppermost row of the inventory, i.e. the top 10 slots. (The item is merely selected; to actually use it click the left mouse button after making a selection.)
F7	Toggle Debug	Shows debug info.
F8	Toggle RxTx	Shows multiplayer connectivity debug info. In singleplayer, all values are 0 and do not change.

Shift	Auto Select	It will try to select the appropriate tool to interact with the object under the cursor (excepting walls), or a light source if the cursor is too far or no tool was found. The light source will be the first valid one in the inventory (e.g.: A glowstick while underwater).
