Summary: Learn the basic controls, camera movement, keyboard shortcuts, and interface features used throughout Comodo Party.
Keyboard and Mouse
Comodo Party is primarily controlled with the mouse. Most actions, such as moving, interacting with NPCs, attacking monsters, and using the interface, are performed with the mouse, while the keyboard provides quick access to windows, shortcuts, and commands.
Mouse Controls
The mouse is used for movement, camera control, interacting with characters and NPCs, and managing items.
Movement
Walking
- Left-click on any reachable tile to move your character.
- Hold the left mouse button to continue moving toward your cursor.

Camera Controls
The camera can be adjusted freely to improve your view of the surrounding area.
Rotate Camera
- Hold the Right Mouse Button and move the mouse left or right to rotate the camera around your character.
Zoom
- Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

Drag and Drop
Many interface actions support drag-and-drop.

Skills can also be dragged onto the shortcut bar for faster access.
Info
If drag-and-drop stops working while equipping items, close the Equipment window and try again.
Auto Follow

- Hold Shift and right-click the target character.
Your character will continue following until you attack, use a targeted skill, or manually move elsewhere.
Note
Auto Follow only works when both /noctrl and /noshift are disabled.
Keyboard Basics
The keyboard provides quick access to game windows, shortcut bars, and interface functions.
By default, F1 through F9 activate the shortcuts assigned to your shortcut bar.

When Battle Mode is enabled, the chat input is no longer active by default. Press Enter before typing a message, otherwise your key presses may activate skills or items instead.
The chat window displays a colored border while Battle Mode is active, making it easy to tell when the mode is enabled.
Tip
Battle Mode is especially useful for classes that rely on many skills or frequent equipment switching.
