A public creator note described holding X after you drop into the world. On mobile, look for a summon button instead of assuming the same keys.
02Focus and recovery
- Click or tap inside the official game so it receives keys.
- Close chat with Esc if typing is eating input.
- Check that a browser shortcut is not intercepting the key.
- Reload the official window once if it stopped listening.
