Depending on your settings of first person or third person mode, there are some differences in the use of your mouse. In third person mode (which is the default), when you left-click anywhere within the screen, your avatar will walk towards the position you clicked. You can turn around by pushing down on your right mouse button (RMB), holding it down, and then dragging it.
{{Keypress|C}} - Rotate Right


In First Person mode you can do the same turning with the RMB, but you move using the keys mentioned above. In this mode, when you press space, you will switch to Aim Mode, which will allow you to move around using regular mouse movements.
{{Keypress|Space}} Jump/Move Up


In both modes, the right-mouse button will show you a pop-up menu with many available options and functions, as well as emotes and dances your avatar can perform. Holding down both the left and the right mouse button will make your avatar walk forwards.
