Keyboard shortcuts
The whole list: the eight keys that open screens, the six that do the rest, and the combat ones.
reviewed 8 August 2026
What it is
Everything the side rail opens also opens from the keyboard. That is eight keys for the eight screens, plus six for the rest. The combat keys have not changed.
How I do it
The list, key by key.

|---|---|
| I | Party |
| M | Map |
| C | Collection |
| N | Field Notebook |
| T | Market |
| G | Clan |
| P | Home Post |
| Q | Institute — the tasks |
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| F | Opens the active esva's sheet |
| Y | Opens the achievements |
| Enter | Opens the chat |
| Esc | Closes the top window. With no window open, it opens the system menu |
| ? | Shows this list inside the game |
| Shift+M | Mutes the game's sound |
| Key | Does |
|---|---|
| WASD | Moves, in eight directions — the arrow keys do the same |
| 1 – 4 | Use the active esva's four moves |

The mute button is still on screen and still clickable — the shortcut is only a second way to reach it.
What I get — and what it costs
What I get
The whole game without the mouseThe rail's eight screens and the six actions, all one key away.It costs learning fourteen keys. The ? key shows the list without leaving the game.
What it costs
While typing, no shortcut firesIn the chat or in any text field, the letters go to the field — no screen opens by accident.No shortcut spends anythingA shortcut opens a screen. It does not sell, buy or release an esva — that needs a click and a confirmation.Nothing with CtrlThe browser keeps Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T and Ctrl+N. The game's shortcuts are single keys, so they do not fight it.
