Controls, Key binds in Cooking Simulator Cooking Simulator guide, tips
Last update: 04 July 2019
Controls are fortunately simple and very quickly become intuitive. Although the game always displays a small hint in the corner of the screen, it is worth remembering these few keys listed below.
You can control everything in the kitchen with the following keys: <br>
 | Left mouse button - Confirm \ Interaction \ Take \ Put down to container or plate \ Buy |
 | Right Mouse Button - Cancel \ Put back \ Rotate the item \ Cancel rotation |
 | Middle Mouse Button - Throw (hold to throw harder) \ Put (in "precise manipulation" mode) the held item |
 | Mouse wheel, Move Up\Down - Scroll lists \ Company or mode selection |
 | E - Lift \ Start stopwatch \ Clear with sponge \ Try liquid \ Change station (next to radio) |
 | Shift - The "precise manipulation" mode (free movement and object placing) \ Hold the sliced thing in place (when the "Steady Hands" ability is unlocked) |
Spacebar - Fast movement | |
 | Q key - Enable or Disable grouping of components in a container (for example a pan) \ Rare contextual actions (such as the tap) |
 | N - (only Free Mode; not displayed in the tooltip) change the gravity settings |
 | Ctrl - Bend (to lift something off the floor for example) |
 | C - Hide / hide objectives panel |
<br>That's a wrap - most of the keys work in context, and the actions and their keyboard shortcuts appear in the lower right corner of the screen.
For convenience, we'll use abbreviated forms for the mouse buttons: LMB for left, RMB for right, and MMB for middle (the scroll).
