Vintage Story primarily uses mouse and keyboard input for controls. All controls listed here are defaults. These can be changed via the in-game settings.

Toggleable options

By default, both of these options are on.

Option Effect
Toggle Sprint On: Sprinting is toggled using the Run key - tap once to enable, and tap again to disable sprinting.
Off: The Run key must be held down to run.
Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint On: Mouse actions are modified by the Sneak or Run keys you have bound.
Off: Mouse actions modifiers can be separately bound. These default to Shift (for "sneak-click" actions) and Ctrl (for "sprint-click" actions).
