Basic controls

The basic controls in Where Winds Meet use the WASD keys for movement, the Space key for jumping, the C key for crouching, and other inputs that follow the standard first-person shooter (FPS) layout. Unique actions include the V key (Wind Listening Sense) and the X key (Use medicine/item), but the overall number of actions is limited enough that they can be learned early on.

Item switching controls

The next important group of shortcuts is for quickly switching weapons, arrows, and medicines during combat. These controls are mapped mainly to the mouse wheel and mouse buttons so that equipment can be changed intuitively and instantly in response to the flow of battle. Mouse clicks are prioritized as attacks when attacking is possible, and in all other situations are treated as shortcuts for switching item slots, so this behavior requires attention.

Combat controls

These are the key bindings for combat, which is one of the core features of Where Winds Meet. From special skills such as Qishu arts and Martial Metamorphosis techniques to selecting allies, a wide range of key assignments is provided to keep complex battles running smoothly, and there are quite a few to learn. However, failing to learn this layout will be a disadvantage in combat, so it is worth the effort.

System controls

These shortcuts are used for accessing in-game menus, operating the user interface, and managing multiplayer content. Important functions such as quest tracking, party formation, and inventory management are mainly assigned to the function keys, while the rest are based on the initial letters of English words, which makes them relatively easy to remember.
