Walking
There are three ways to walk your avatar with the keyboard:
- Use the arrow keys.
- W A S D keys - Inworld must have focus, meaning the chat bar is closed or you've clicked inworld. Otherwise, these keys will type in the chat bar.
- Numeric keypad - Not all keyboards have this.
Running
Running is done with the same keys as walking. Running is usually a toggle: enable World > Always Run and try moving around!
Jumping and ducking
Tap Page Up or E to jump.
Hold Page Down or +C to duck (squat).
 |
Tip: After jumping, hold down Space to greatly slow your ascent. It looks almost as if you're frozen in mid-air. |
Flying
Holding the same key to Jump will make you fly.
|
Tip: If that doesn't work, go to Edit > Preferences, click Input & Camera tab, and enable Fly/land on holding up/down. |
You can also click the Fly button on the toolbar at the bottom of the Viewer window.
Double-tap run
 |
Warning: This is a "power user" feature we don't support. |
If you don't want to always run, you can make your avatar walk or run with use of your arrow keys. Double-tap and hold the up arrow key to run forward. Tap and hold the up arrow key again to walk. This feature gives a more realistic appearance to avatar movement.
To enable double-tap run:
- Open the unsupported Advanced menu.
- Enable Advanced > Character > Tap-Tap-Hold To Run.
