Controls & Keybinds
Project Gorgon gives you two active combat skill bars, a sidebar, and dozens of panels. Getting your keybinds right makes combat smoother and long sessions less fatiguing.
Default Keybinds
Project Gorgon uses two combat skill bars with six slots each, plus a sidebar for situational abilities. You can rebind all of these via the gear icon on the right side of the screen, then the Keys tab.

Recommended Keybind Layouts
The default Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+6 for your second bar is awkward in combat. Here are some common rebinding approaches:
QERF + Shift Modifier
Move your second bar to Q, E, R, F, V, and G. These keys are within easy reach of WASD and don't require Ctrl. Use Shift+key for your sidebar abilities. This keeps everything within one hand's reach.
1–6 + Shift+1–6
Keep 1–6 for your primary bar but rebind the secondary bar to Shift+1–6 instead of Ctrl. Shift is easier to hold than Ctrl during movement. Move sidebar abilities to keys like Z, X, C or mouse buttons.
Mouse-Centric
If you have an MMO mouse with extra buttons, you can bind all 12 combat abilities to your thumb grid and free up keyboard keys entirely for panels, chat, and consumables.
Using an MMO Mouse
An MMO mouse has a 12-button grid under your thumb. In Project Gorgon, that maps perfectly: buttons 1–6 for your primary skill bar, buttons 7–12 for your secondary bar. Your keyboard hand is completely free for movement, chat, and menus.
This is especially useful in PG because you're constantly swapping between combat skills, eating food buffs, using potions, and managing pet commands (if you play Animal Handling). With a standard mouse you're reaching for Ctrl+5 while trying to dodge; with an MMO mouse you just press thumb button 11.
Camera & Movement Tips
Hold the Right Mouse Button to rotate the camera. While held, your character faces where you look. Release it to get your cursor back for clicking on NPCs, items, and UI panels.
Press Tab to cycle through nearby enemies (and Shift + Tab to cycle backwards). Press U to interact with your current selection — loot a corpse, talk to an NPC, or open a chest.
Use Scroll Wheel to zoom in and out. Zooming out gives you better situational awareness in dungeons.
Num Lock toggles autorun, which is useful when crossing large zones like Eltibule or the Kur Mountains.
