KEYBOARD CONTROLS

WHAT KEYS ON MY KEYBOARD DO WHAT?

[Eagle Eye]

Look at the settings in game, they are all listed.

Go to Options > Input and then scroll down to Control Mapping and you will see what keys are associated with what action. It's pretty standard (W = forward, A = move left, D = move right, S = backwards, etc).

I can't believe after being in development all these years that there isn't a sticky with the keyboard controls and all the developer console commands listed.

just go to the settings as stated and check what key bindings are set to what. "WASD" to move and "E" to pick items up and "Q" to drop etc...
(ps: there is a key called caps lock. click it and it will let you write small like me)

I wanted more than that

I find it helpful to reassign certain keys. I move "drop" to T to avoid accidentally dropping something important. I reassign the "Q" to sprint. Its much easier to find in a hurry and use regularly. I reassign "X" to empty hands, easy and quick to use.
