Controls in MapleVerse start from the Pre-BB default keyboard layout. Every key below can be rebound in the Keyboard Settings window (SHORTCUT → Keys on the status bar, or \).

Movement and action

Key Action
← → Walk
↑ Enter a portal, climb a rope or ladder
↓ Crouch (prone)
Alt Jump (with a direction for a diagonal jump; ↓ + Alt drops through a platform). On a rope or ladder, Jump with an arrow key leaps off to that side, and Jump alone lets go and drops straight down.
Ctrl Attack
Z Pick up items (an unbound NumPad 0 also picks up)
X Sit down or stand up (see Sitting)
Space or click Talk to an NPC
F1–F7 Facial expressions
★
Different from the original game In the original game a plain Jump did nothing while you held a rope or ladder; you had to hold an arrow key. In MapleVerse a plain Jump lets go.

On a rope or ladder, ↓ + Alt does nothing.

Sitting

  • Press X to sit. If you are standing on or right next to a bench or other seat that is part of the map, you sit on it. If there is no seat there, you sit on the first portable chair in your Set-up inventory tab, starting from the top-left slot.
  • Press X again to stand up.
  • You cannot sit while moving, attacking, climbing or riding.
  • While you sit on a map seat you recover HP and MP at the resting pace. A portable chair uses its own recovery rate.
  • If you have no chair and there is no seat, nothing happens.

Extra keys you can bind

These keys are not set by default. Open Keyboard Settings, find the tile in the tray and drag it onto a key.

Tile Tray group What it does
Free Market Menu Takes you to the Free Market Entrance, the same as the TRADE button on the status bar: level 7 or higher, not from Maple Island, and not from maps you cannot leave by Town Scroll or from timed maps.
Channel Menu Opens the Change Channel board.
Chat Chat Opens the chat line on the chat target you already have (what Enter does), without changing the target.
Town Rep Menu Opens the Town Reputation window (same as typing /rep).
Sit Action Sit / stand (already on X; drag it elsewhere if you prefer).

The tray also holds tiles for the Guide, Bosses, Battle Stats, Music, Achievements and, for Tamers, the Team window. The Team window does nothing for other classes.

On Maple Island the Free Market key shows: "[Free Market] There is no Free Market entrance on Maple Island. Take the ship to Victoria Island first."

★
Different from the original game The Free Market, Channel, Chat and Town Rep keys are MapleVerse additions.

The Keyboard Settings window

  • Drag an ability or emote from the tray at the bottom onto any key to bind it.
  • Drag a skill from the Skill window (K) straight onto a key: attack skills, buffs and potions all work.
  • Drag a bound key onto another key to move the binding.
  • Drag a binding off the keyboard to remove it.
  • Press OK to save. Cancel or Esc throws your changes away.

Quick slots

The right end of the status bar holds your quick slot keys; the arrow button expands or collapses them. Whatever you bind to those keys shows there with its icon, so your potions and buffs are always one glance away.

Tip Bind Red Potions to a comfortable key before your first fight with a Red Snail.
