How to Swim With a Laptop in Warcraft

In "World of Warcraft," an online role-playing game for the PC, players take to the land, sea and air at various points during the game. Eventually, players must swim -- many regions are surrounded by water, and some quests ask that you retrieve an item from under the sea. Whether you are using a laptop or a desktop, the controls to swim are the same, using a mixture of keyboard controls and the mouse or trackpad.

Instructions

- 1
  Press the "W" key to swim forward, the "S" key to swim back, and the "A" and "D" keys to swim sideways. The controls for swimming are identical to the controls for walking.
- 2
  Hold down the left mouse button and use your laptop's trackpad to change the direction of your character while swimming. For example, holding "W" and using the trackpad to have your character look to the left causes him to swim toward the left.
- 3
  Press the "X" key to have your character dive at any time.
- 4
  Press the space bar to have your character surface any time he is under water.
