Controls and Commands

PMU, like many MMOs, has its own unique set of keyboard functions. Among using keys that access a function, the game also uses its chat with a variety of command strings. There is little control customization without use of external programs.

Full Screen Mode
Despite not being apparent, PMU has a full-screen mode available. To access it, press F11 (or FN/Shift+F11) while on PMU's main menu. The screen should refresh to full screen. It will change the screen resolution and have a large black border around it, and it has no changes to the height or width of PMU's regular screen.

To escape full screen mode, you have to close out of the game. Press Alt+Tab and go to a new window. If you don't have another window open, use Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open the Task Manager to close out. When you reopen the game, it will be back to its windowed mode.

Custom Controls
Changing of the controls is very limited, there are five keys that can be remapped by the player: the movement keys and run key.

In the game client directory, there's a file named "controls.xml" and it can be modified with a text editor. The numbers between the tags are equal to a certain keyboard key. A reference of what number corresponds to what key can be found here.

The StandardAttack tag doesn't refer to the standard attack usable with the F key, as its default key code is 122 (Z), so changing it has no effect.

Trivia

 * If you PM yourself, the message "[user] begins to mumble to him/her/themself, what a weirdo..." appears in the chat. The pronoun used depends on if the active Pokémon is male, female, or genderless.
 * Using /online with your own username gives the message "You were online. ;)" and disconnects you from the server.
 * The revamped effect was made by Andy.
 * Previously it said "You're online, silly!"
