Controls revolve around the most important aspects of the game—movement, Pals, and utility. Movement is used to get you from point A to B or during combat. You can sprint, roll, and jump. Pal controls are special binds that help you summon, dismiss, and control your furry friends. You can use them both during and out of combat. Finally, utility shortcuts are here to open your map and inventory with ease. 

Here are all the controls for keyboard and controller in Palworld.
