Valheim: These key bindings you should know

Most of the key bindings are self-explanatory, such as WASD for movement and the number keys 1 to 8 for the item bar. Other mappings, however, are not so obvious.

Practical: It pays to know all key mappings.

Some key mappings are not extremely important, but provide more comfort. Others allow movements that you may not even have known.

Typical candidates for the cases mentioned

• With "R" you put away all weapons or tools - that's handy if you want to move fast. With empty hands, the endurance consumption is namely lower.
• With pressure on "Q" your character automatically runs ahead. This is suitable for longer distances, the sprint can be activated manually by holding "Shift", direction changes are made by mouse.
• You activate the currently selected abandon power with "F".
• With "X" your character sits down.
• With "C" you switch between running and walking.

By the way: In the settings of the game you can change the key assignments at any time. However, it is not absolutely necessary, because the default settings are useful.
