User Interface

The user interface is an integral part of the map and provides functionality for interacting with the world. The hotkeys for the actions are based on Minecraft's default control options. The map will assume you use the default keys at all times. If a hotkey is not working, check to make sure you are using the default Minecraft control scheme.

### Hotkeys

#### F

Almost every interaction with your surroundings (chests, levers, chains, etc.) is done by pressing F. F serves as an "Enter" or "Forward" function.

#### Q

By pressing Q you can open your inventory or select spells. Q serves as an "Open".

*(For users of AZERTY keyboard, it's A)*

#### Shift

Shift serves a "Back" function. You can use Shift to go back in conversations, get out of Inventory or Quest log, or to dismount from a Broom.

#### Mouse wheel

Used for selecting item slots, spells or for adjusting flying speed while on a Broom. If you do not have a Mouse Wheel, pressing the numbers at the top of your keyboard will do the same thing. To adjust the flying speed, slide your finger from 0 - 1 (right the left) multiple times to get to the highest speed that you want. To lower the speed, go the opposite way.

#### CTRL+W

Lets you sprint. If you want to travel faster, you can let go of CTRL while still holding down W, and hold down Space Bar to jump while sprinting.
