Keyboard Only
🎮 **Pure keyboard mode brings a new operating experience to Stardew Valley**

- **Secondary Action Key** – Use a single keystroke to perform a right-click action in a menu (default: C)
- **Toolbar Cycle** – cycle through toolbars outside of the menu (default: Q/E)
- **Smart Cursor Reset** – When the menu is closed, the cursor automatically moves to the lower right edge
⚙️ In-game settings (important)

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
