Akron uses Everest’s keyboard and controller configuration for binds. Use these configuration screens to ensure bindings remain consistent with your modded Celeste setup.

​
Default keybindings

Actions marked - have no default binding on that input type. Open Menu starts on Tab. Click Teleport, Cursor Zoom, Cursor Tools, and Entity Inspector cursor holds default to Left Alt where their popup exposes a cursor bind. Other shortcut actions start unbound so you can assign them intentionally. Save State, Load State, Previous Slot, and Next Slot control the separate active savestate slot from 1-9. The Keybinds tab shows the first two as Capture StartPos State and Restore StartPos State. Set StartPos, Load StartPos, Clear StartPos, and Load StartPos Slot 1-9 control persistent StartPos snapshots instead. Toggle Frame Bypass and Cycle Frame Bypass Camera Smoothing work only when Motion Smoothing is loaded. Camera-smoothing cycling also requires frame bypass to be active.

​
Configure a bind

1

Open Everest controls

From Celeste’s mod options, open the Everest keyboard or controller configuration screen.
2

Find the Akron action

Search or scroll to the Akron action you want to change, such as the overlay toggle, retry, StartPos set/load, freeze, hitboxes, or inspector actions.
3

Assign the new input

Bind the key or controller input. Avoid using inputs already mapped to Celeste movement, pause, confirm, or other critical mod actions.
4

Test in a non-submission context

Test the bind in casual or room-lab play before using it in a clean or proof-oriented attempt.

​
Keyboard and controller inputs

Akron uses Celeste/Everest binding primitives where possible:
  • Built-in Akron hotkeys use Everest ButtonBinding settings.
  • Overlay row custom bindings accept keyboard chords such as LeftControl+LeftShift+D.
  • Binding capture preserves side-specific modifiers such as RightAlt, RightShift, and RightShift+F1.
  • Overlay row custom bindings can also use controller buttons, stored with an explicit value such as Button:LeftShoulder.
The binding capture popup accepts a keyboard key or a controller button. It waits for the input that opened capture to be released so a held button does not bind itself accidentally. Controller bindings display with controller-facing names such as LB, RB, and DPad Left. Multi-button controller combinations are not part of the current binding model.

​
Bind recovery

If the overlay bind is unknown:
  • Open Everest controls from Celeste’s menus and search for Akron actions.
  • Temporarily disable other mods if a bind conflict prevents input from reaching Akron.
  • Check Everest logs if the bind appears configured but Akron never receives it.
Some shortcut actions are policy-visible. A convenient bind can still mark the active attempt if it uses a Cheat feature. See Clean vs cheat for details.
