Keyboard and mouse shortcuts

Every key and click in the game on a single page.

Everything in Acheron World can be done with the mouse, but keyboard players play faster. This is the complete list.

Shortcuts don't fire while the cursor is inside a text field (chat, search, shop name). Press Esc or click outside to release.

Keyboard#

Windows#

Esc closes one window at a time, in this order: central window, inventory, attributes, map, weather, video card tip, shop, skills, trade, Chaos Machine, big map.

Combat#

Keys 1 to 9 work both on the top row and on the numeric keypad. There is no 0 key — the bar has nine slots.

The Q, W, E and T potions always drink the best potion of that type in your inventory.

Camera#

The camera angle is saved between sessions.

Diagnostics#

See options and performance for when to use each one.

Mouse#

Left button#

The left click is contextual — it looks at what's under the cursor, in this order:

1. Monster → basic attack (never the armed skill);
2. NPC → opens the conversation or the shop. If you're far away, your character walks there and the window opens on arrival;
3. Item on the ground (up to 2.2 tiles) → picks it up;
4. Player with an open personal shop (up to 2.5 tiles) → opens their shop;
5. Ground → walks there, and pauses auto-hunt.

Holding the left button on the ground makes the character follow the cursor. Against a rock, tree or wall it slides along the edge; if it walks into a closed corner (the "pocket" between two rocks), it goes around the obstacle and keeps going the way you point. Let go: it walks to the spot under the cursor.

Ctrl + left click on another player attacks that player. That's the PvP gesture — see PK and hero system.

Right button#

Releases the selected skill. On a monster, it targets it; on another player, it applies a buff or attacks depending on the skill; on the ground, it centers the area skill on that point.

Holding the right button repeats the cast, every 150 ms, following the cursor. That's how you clear a spot with area magic without clicking a thousand times.

Middle button#

• Drag rotates the camera.
• Double click returns to the classic view.

Wheel#

Zoom, between the very close and the very far view.

The cursor changes on its own#

• Sword over a monster;
• Animated balloon over an NPC;
• Hand over an item on the ground.

Standing still, your character turns to where the mouse points. Walking, hunting or attacking, it ignores the cursor.

In the inventory#

See inventory and equipment and jewels.

In the chat#

There are also the system commands: /pk, /duel Nome, /gens, /it, /tvt, /cerco, /marry, /amigo. Each one is explained on its system's page.
