Factorio Hotkeys

Searchable default keyboard and mouse bindings for Factorio 2.0 / Space Age. Find an action by name or look up what a key does.

Factorio ships with a large control set — movement, building, inventory transfers, blueprint tools, trains, and debug keys. Most players only memorize a handful; the rest live in Settings → Controls until you need them.

Use the search box below to look up an action ("rotate", "blueprint library") or a key ("R", "Shift+R", "`"). Category chips narrow the list further.

Defaults from the official Factorio Controls wiki. Rebind anything in Settings → Controls. Bindings below are PC mouse + keyboard.
