There are often "different ways to do the same thing" in Second Life, or in other words, various paths to one goal. For example, a newcomer may prefer using the mouse to click menu options, but when you know there are keyboard shortcuts, you can graduate to those. Here are some quick examples and links to more info:
 
== Movement controls ==
 
In the Viewer's user interface, there's the '''Move''' controls. All of these have keyboard equivalents, which is the more common usage.
 
{| {{KBtable}}
|- {{KBtablehead}}
! width="20%" |
! width="20%" | "Special" keys
! width="20%" | "Letter" keys (when chat bar doesn't have focus)
 
|-
| Move forward
| align="center" | {{k|↑}}
| align="center" | {{k|w}}
 
|-
| Move backward
| align="center" | {{k|↓}}
| align="center" | {{k|s}}
 
|-
| Turn left (strafe left in {{xref|mouselook}})
| align="center" | {{k|←}}
| align="center" | {{k|a}}
 
|-
| Turn right (strafe left in {{xref|mouselook}})
| align="center" | {{k|→}}
| align="center" | {{k|d}}
 
|-
| Jump
| align="center" | tap {{k|Page Up}}
| align="center" | tap {{k|e}}
 
|-
| Fly up
| align="center" | hold {{k|Page Up}}
| align="center" | hold {{k|e}}
 
|-
| Fly down (or crouch, when on the ground)
| align="center" | hold {{k|Page Down}}
| align="center" | hold {{k|c}}
 
|}
 
== Camera controls ==
 
In the Viewer's user interface, there's the '''Camera''' controls. Like '''Move''', all camera controls have keyboard equivalents. These shortcuts are more complicated than movement controls because they require pressing several keys (and/or the left mouse button) simultaneously, so there's a healthy proportion of Residents using one way or the other — or both.
 
{| {{KBtable}}
|- {{KBtablehead}}
! width="20%" |
! width="20%" | "Special keys" keyboard shortcut
! width="20%" | "Letter keys" keyboard shortcut
! width="20%" | Mouse-inclusive equivalent
 
|-
| Change focus point (and center it in the Viewer window)
| align="center" | ''n/a''
| align="center" | ''n/a''
| align="center" | {{k|Alt}} + left-click
 
|-
| Zoom in
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + {{k|↑}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + {{k|w}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + hold left mouse button and drag up
 
|-
| Zoom out
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + {{k|↓}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + {{k|s}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + hold left mouse button and drag down
 
|-
| Orbit up
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl}} + {{k|↑}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl}} + {{k|w}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl}} + hold left mouse button and drag up
 
|-
| Orbit down
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|↓}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|s}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|}} + hold left mouse button and drag down
 
|-
| Orbit left
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|←}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|w}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl}} + hold left mouse button and drag left
 
|-
| Orbit right
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|→}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrlk|s}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl}} + hold left mouse button and drag right
 
|-
| Pan up
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|↑}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|w}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift}} + hold left mouse button and drag down
 
|-
| Pan down
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|↓}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|s}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift}} + hold left mouse button and drag up
 
|-
| Pan left
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|←}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|w}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift}} + hold left mouse button and drag right
 
|-
| Pan right
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|→}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift|s}}
| align="center" | {{k|Alt|Ctrl|Shift}} + + hold left mouse button and drag left
 
|}
 
On the Viewer's bottom bar, there are '''Move''' and '''View''' controls you can click on.
