Controls Guide

Warigami plays like a classic real-time strategy game: move the camera, select your folds, and issue orders through the command card at the bottom of the screen. Most actions show a single-letter hotkey on their card button — press it or click it.

Camera

Action	Default
Pan	W A S D or the Arrow Keys, or push the cursor to the screen edge
Zoom in / out	Mouse Wheel
Center on your base	Space (jumps to your Prime instead if it is under attack)

Selection

Action	Default
Select	Left Click
Add to selection	Shift + Left Click
Box select	Left Click + Drag
Clear selection / back out	Esc

Battle Groups

Save a group of units and recall it instantly.

Action	Default
Assign a group	Ctrl + 2-9
Select a group	press its number (1-9)
Center on a group	double-tap its number

Battle group 1 is always your Prime — it can’t be reassigned, so a quick tap of 1 always jumps to your commander.

Orders

Most orders are right-click or a card button.

Action	Default
Move / gather / attack	Right Click (context-sensitive: move to ground, gather a resource node, attack an enemy, or resume building a structure)
Stop	X
Back out of a menu or targeting mode	Esc (or B to step back one card page)
Open a card action	click the button or press the letter shown on it

The command card is contextual — selecting a folder shows folding options, selecting a Patternworks shows its kits, and so on. Abilities (like the Prime’s Inspire or a Plaguebearer’s Pestilence) and production options all appear there with their own hotkeys.

Building & Production

Action	Default
Open the Fold (build) menu	F with a folder selected
Place a building	Left Click on the map (a green ghost previews its footprint)
Queue several placements	hold Shift while placing
Queue a unit, research, or upgrade	click its card button or press its hotkey
Cancel from a queue	Right Click the queue chip
Set a rally point	Right Click with a production building selected

When you place a Pylon Plantation, the green ghost shows the full 3x3 plot it will claim, not just the sprinkler post at its center.

Other

Action	Default
Report a bug or idea	Ctrl + B (opens the in-game feedback form)
Pause menu	Esc with nothing selected and no menu open

Tips

Use battle groups constantly. Tap 1 to snap to your Prime, and bind your main army to 2 and workers to 3.
Double-tap a group number to center the camera on it.
Right-click is smart — it gathers, attacks, or resumes a build depending on what you click, so you rarely need a separate command.
Esc is your escape hatch: it backs out of placement, targeting, and menus one step at a time before opening the pause menu.
