Controls

*See also: Chat commands, Admin Panel, FOV, List of controls.*
Listed below are the **Controls**.

* Controls are customizable using an *Alternative* setup and by creating Keybindings.
* The game is also provided with Full Controller Support.

## Default

### Console

* L3/R3 = "press down on the stick controller"
* No Key = "can't be used by the game"
* The game does not allow for mouse and keyboard input on console.
* Steam Controller: will default to an Xbox-style layout, with the setup following the standard interface and the left touchpad area doubling as a right joystick input.

## Keybindings

**Keybindings** let you set hotkeys for controls and Admin Commands.

* Column 1: Specified key or keys, separated by `-`.
* Column 2: Targeted action or command.

`Insert` is permanently bound to the development console and cannot be used for other commands.

**Not all keybinds can be edited from the UI.** Instead the Input.ini file (found in the Steam folder Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor) can be edited by hand in any text editor.

### Improved Quality of Life commands

**Improved Quality of Life commands** are messages in the top right corner of the screen, which flash every once in a while. They may be used as reminders for certain tasks.

## Notes

* The chat scrolls all the way back when you respawn. It works normally when you manually scroll it.
* Classes or combos as in *Age of Conan* are not planned. Combat is based on skill and reaction.
* The Elder Scrolls, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and other MMORPGs are all influences for *Conan Exiles'*s combat.

### Issues

* When getting up from a chair while in Vanity Camera mode, the camera angle will be stuck in free look and your character will be stuck on permanent Strafe.
* When in the UI, hitting `ESC` Escape makes you unable to move, nor does the Menu show.

*Workaround: restarting the game.*
