How to walk, run, use things and switch tools with a keyboard, a touch screen or a gamepad.
Keyboard
- WASD or the arrow keys walk; hold Shift to run.
- E uses whatever is in front of you: talk, open the mailbox, swing a net, go through a door.
- Hold Q to pull in things lying close by with your pollen basket.
- 1 to 9 take out a tool (1 is empty hands); R picks the next tool and Shift+R the one before.
- M is Mimic, once a friend has taught you that knack.
- The mouse wheel zooms, Enter opens chat and Escape closes a window.
Touch
- Put your thumb down anywhere and a stick appears under it, with a Run button beside it.
- Tap a spot to walk there, tap a thing to use it, or hold on the ground to keep walking toward it.
Gamepad
- Left stick walks; click it to switch auto-run; hold B or RB to run.
- A uses or talks, hold X to gather, Y is Mimic.
- LB is the next tool (hold it to choose one), the right stick zooms and Menu opens your menu.
- On the D-pad: up for Pockets, right for Today's tasks, left for Places, down for What's on.
A legend of the buttons shows for a few seconds on your first visits, and every hint in town draws the right button for whatever you're playing with.
