# Interaction Basics

Interaction through player input is controlled through an Input class.

Easy shortcuts can be set up through the **Input Manager**.

Open your Input Manager through the taskbar > Edit > Project Settings...

This will open a new window/tab. Select Input Manager and twirl down the Axes menu.

Twirl down one of the Axes listed to reveal default controls:

![Default settings for the Horizontal axis (for Keyboard)](https://3795241431-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M8XSUYVSlHMdPUNud-2%2F-MA5duCv6cqeGjrpgo8D%2F-MA5hPUBotE-D9D0-pWt%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=6277558a-6809-4160-9b89-b74d76b8ee30)

![Default settings for the Mouse X axis (for Mouse control)](https://3795241431-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M8XSUYVSlHMdPUNud-2%2F-MA5m9TSKESC3nU9BX_l%2F-MA5o9a0cS45Q0O_uRgX%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5d5fd3b7-ea84-4f6a-9364-b7f455bc545a)

![Default settings for the Jump button (for Keyboard)](https://3795241431-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M8XSUYVSlHMdPUNud-2%2F-MA5m9TSKESC3nU9BX_l%2F-MA5nqhteBV5b9DE1t1x%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=88bc237b-e05e-430f-b26e-c95d8bab22ea)

This is where you can access the sensitivity for mouse, keyboard, and controller buttons as well as what buttons control the axis/button.

These can now be accessed through using Input.GetAxis() as a value that is positive or negative and Input.GetButton() as a bool value (true/false).
