Here we break down the list of all keyboard controls in Europa Universalis 5 and the steps to change the input bindings.
Europa Universalis 5 is a strategy simulation war game where we take control of a country and increase our empire with well-thought-out plans. The game is slow-paced, with not a lot of quick input action. However, there are a lot of actions for you to perform through manual clicks, which can be time-consuming.
To solve this, Europa Universalis 5 has added a shortcut key for almost all the actions you could possibly perform in the game. While they are not all immediately assigned, you can take control of the key bindings and add commands based on the actions you would like to prioritize first. In this article, we will look at the list of all controls and shortcuts in Europa Universalis 5.
Controls Overview in Europa Universalis 5
Europa Universalis 5 features a large list of controls and shortcuts to help save your time. For any action that you would like access to, a shortcut option will be available for it. Many of these controls, however, do not have key bindings. You can follow these steps to add or change key bindings for your keyboard controls in Europa Universalis 5.
Steps to Change Key Bindings
- Once in-game, click on the ‘Esc’ button to pause the game and enter the options menu.
- Click on the ‘Settings’ button.
- Now select the ‘Input Bindings’ tab.
