I haven't played this game much (like 45hrs)but I've settled on using my left click for attack and right click for dash, with jump on space and wasd to move. Left shift is focus or whatever its called. What are yours?

I'm using standard XBox 360 Controller mapping, with a slight change:
I switched the "Quick Cast" and "Cast/Heal" buttons.

Default keyboard controls except for Inventory on Del.

Default controller settings.

I liked the default controller setup for this game enough that when I went back to Celeste for a bit early on, I added a secondary dash button to my controller setup in that game, matching this one's default dash button.

Keyboard only, slightly modified from the defaults:
Arrow keys for moving left/right and aiming/looking up/down.
X = attack
Space = dash
C = jump
Z = focus
V = crystal dash
D = dream nail (note: you can't jump and dream-nail at the same time)

It's served me well; completed everything in the game except for the pantheons with multiple bindings at once. (I did complete each pantheon, including the fifth one, with every bind individually)

wasd = movement
spacebar = jump
c = focus
f = quick cast
shift = dash
ctrl = c-dash
inventory = i
and i used to use left click for attack but i switched to O and started playing 20x better.

default keyboard is my go-to

I didn't realize I could change the keyboard controls until I was already used to the default. Probably gonna keep most stuff to the very left or right of my keyboard so that I don't have to reach to hit any button..
