What keyboard shortcuts are in Terraria?

Question

What keyboard shortcuts are in Terraria? Is it possible to change bindings?

Answer

These are gameplay hotkeys and can be re-bound by going to Settings → Controls. The keys listed here are the defaults.

  • Throw (Q) — Throws your currently active item away. Note that this will throw the entire stack (unless holding Torches, as they provide light even as a tossed item).
  • Quick Heal (H) — Consumes the first healing item in your inventory.
  • Quick Mana (M) — Consumes the first mana restoring item in your inventory.
  • Quick Buff (B) — Uses items that cause buffs or debuffs, unless their associated buff is already active. You can have a maximum of 10 (de)buffs, and this hotkey will stop when that number is reached.
  • Quick Grapple (E) — Shoots the Grappling Hook or Ivy Whip, if you have either in your inventory.

The following are mostly undocumented and hardcoded (i.e., can't be changed):

  • Fullscreen (Alt+Enter) — Enters and leaves fullscreen mode without having to leave the current world.
  • Quick Trash (Left Shift) — Clicking on items in your inventory while holding left shift will transfer them to the trash slot. If an NPC's shop window is open, you'll automatically sell that item to the NPC instead (even if it has no value).
  • Show FPS (F10) — Displays frames per second in the lower left corner; the number in brackets is liquid debug data of some description.
  • Hide UI (F11) — Toggles all user interface elements, including the cursor. This is useful for taking clean screenshots.

And, last but not least:

  • Screenshot (F12) — Takes a (JPEG) screenshot. This isn't technically a Terraria hotkey, but courtesy of the Steam overlay. Can also be re-bound to another key in your Steam settings.

Current as of Terraria 1.0.6.1.
