# Basic Navigation in Mutate
### All the keys, shortcuts, and navigation tools you need to know to get the most out of Mutate! Let's go :)
## Create Mode
**WASD** — move the camera in set directions — forward/left/back/right
**Space** — move the camera directly upwards
**Left click** — select and manipulate items, modes and components
**Right click** — hold down to look around and move the camera in any direction
**CTRL** — hold down while selecting objects to group them together for a function; e.g. selecting several objects to move them all to the left
> Can also be used to select objects that have been locked
>
> For some objects, like landmasses, walls and floors, it can be a good idea to lock in place to avoid accidentally moving
>
> Multiple objects can only be selected in Transform mode (T). If you are having trouble selecting multiple objects check you are not in Grab (G) or Linking (V) mode!
**Alt** — hold down and click-drag objects to perfectly duplicate them, including all their components and linking!
**E** — Toggle free-fly camera and player avatar, useful for testing how things look to a player without entering playtest mode
**Z** — zooms you immediately into the selected object
**Shift** — hold to fly faster through the worldspace
**Delete** — deletes the selected object(s)
**Escape** — deselects everything
## Create Mode Hotkeys
**B** — Asset Browser — used to search for and import assets into the game
**G** — Grab mode — select and move items without axis pop-ups
**T** — Transform — more detailed manipulation of objects. Hotkeys for Transform mode are:
* 1 — Move
* 2 — Rotate
* 3 — Scale
* 4 — Global axis
* 5 — Local axis
**V** — Linking — create logic and mechanics for objects with components attached, as well as changing the look of the environment and game parameters — like adding guns to create a shooter level, and player score for collection maps. Hotkeys for Linking mode are:
* 1 — Player — set health, movement speed, respawn rate, camera placement
* 2 — Mechanics — set teams, scoreboard limits, when to start/end games
* 3 — Environment — alter the sky, water, weather and ambience
## Play Mode
**WASD** — move in a specific direction
**Mouse/touchpad** — move camera anywhere
**Enter** — open text chat/send message
**Space** — jump
**Shift** — hold to sprint
**Ctrl** — hold to crouch
**Left click** — shoot (if you have a gun)
**F** — interact with object
**Escape** — Pause/unpause game and camera movement for you only
**F1 to F10 —** emotes
**F11** — Maximizes full screen, removing window and task bars from the screen; great for that immersive experience!
