Mouse actions and useful context

Drag an item to move it. Q/E/F/R work while dragging. With the default mouse option, right-click while dragging also flips and the middle button flips; the swap option changes the right button to rotation. Right-click an item at rest to open its context menu. Double-click opens or uses compatible items, unless single-click interaction is enabled.

Hold left Ctrl/Shift/Alt and click for quick transfer. Alt routes toward storage or a suitable open container according to the current window; it is not a universal “sell this item” shortcut. The older tutorial overlay calls it counter transfer. The current key list and destination window are the useful checks.

S opens sorting over empty space in a sortable grid. P enters pin mode: click items to pin/unpin, then P or right-click to leave it. Delete sends an eligible hovered item to the trash. Toolbox number keys only use slots actually installed in your toolbox.

Find the shop controls

The screenshot uses Simplified Chinese. The display case is on the left; the shutter is at the center, with the open/close business control beside it. Use the customer information panel for the next arrival, and the phone for contacts. The counter is the exchange area above your main inventory. The reputation interface sits at the left edge. The green call button summons the next customer; the dialogue recorder replays text. The sleeping bag at the lower right ends the day. Press O, the letter, to show or hide the overlay.

Change or restore your keys

Open Options with K, choose the key-binding entry and assign the desired key. The bindings are saved; Restore Defaults returns the list above. Escape is reserved for closing and cancellation. If a shortcut appears unresponsive, finish typing in a text field, leave pin mode, and check that the target grid or tool slot exists.
