Controls and Commands

PMU has its own 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.

Explorer Kit
The Explorer Kit is located to the left of the game screen. It has four pages accessible to players.

The first page is the chat. When the player logs in to the game, the chat will display a welcome message, the current in-game time and day of the week, as well as the amount of players online at the time of logging on. The player can type in the chat clicking the bar just below it. The channel that messages will be sent can be changed below the message box. The arrow in the top right of the Explorer Kit window will go to the other pages.

The second page has a counter. There is a plus and minus button that will add and subtract to the value shown. The value is not currently retained if the game is closed and the player logs back in.

The third page is the party menu and only shows when in a party. It displays all players in the party, with the portrait, HP, and experience percentage of their active Pokémon.

The fourth and last page contains the user's friended players and whether they're online or offline, indicated by the square next to a player's name being green or red respectively. The statuses are only checked when the user first logs in, meaning if one of the user's friends logs in or out, the status in the friends list will not be updated until the user relogs themselves. Having a player added as a friend will display the "[Player] has joined/left Pokémon Mystery Universe!" message in chat anywhere, rather than it only showing if they joined or left on the same map as you.

Full Screen Mode
Despite not being apparent, PMU has a full-screen mode available. To access it, press 🇧🇹 (or 🇧🇹/🇧🇹) 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 🇧🇹, as its default key code is 122 (Z), so changing it has no effect.

Trivia

 * If you PM yourself, the message "[Player Name] 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 with your own username gives the message "You were online. ;)" and disconnects you from the server.
 * Previously it said "You're online, silly!".
 * was a previous command that showed the top richest players. Since the closing of the Hall of Fame, this command no longer works.
