Any key used in the game can be rebound to something different, which may be important for some players: in general, everyone playing the game for extended periods should set the keys to bindings which are comfortable to use (and take breaks!) As of game version 1.19.4, you can also configure any control to be a mouse button, including up to 5 extra buttons for multi-button gaming mice. | Any key used in the game can be rebound to something different, which may be important for some players: in general, everyone playing the game for extended periods should set the keys to bindings which are comfortable to use (and take breaks!)

* '''Toggle Sprint''': [in game version 1.19, this setting is now found on the Accessibility tab] Check this box to reduce the need to use the [[Controls#Movement_controls|Sprint key]]. Tap Sprint once while walking to begin running; your character will continue running without keeping the Sprint key pressed, until you stop moving forward. When you move again it will be at a walking pace. | * '''Toggle Sprint''': [in game version 1.19, this setting is now found on the Accessibility tab] Check this box to reduce the need to use the [[Controls#Movement_controls|Sprint key]].

By default, the Shift key is the key used for [[Controls#Movement controls|Sneak]], and the Ctrl key is used for [[Controls#Movement controls|Sprint]], and if you are happy with those defaults then this setting is probably not going to be relevant to you. But if you want to change Sneak to a different key, then it becomes important: by default (locked), changing the Sneak control has the effect of changing the key which has to be pressed for Shift + mouseclick actions as well. Some people like that (thinking of it as "Sneak + mouseclick"), some people don't like that at all (they want to change the control for Sneak without changing the normal Shift + mouseclick control ...) If you are one of the people who wants to reconfigure Sneak ''without'' reconfiguring the {{Keypress|Shift}} key, then unlocking mouse modifiers means you can keep on using {{Keypress|Shift}} as the Shift key for mouseclicks as normal, even though the Sneak key has changed to something different. Or, if you like, you can leave the Sneak key as it is but change only the key used as the Shift key for mouseclicking. The same applies to the {{Keypress|Ctrl}} key and Sprint which are locked together by default - for example, use this setting if you want to change the Sprint key to {{Keypress|Q}} or {{Keypress|R}} (some people find that more comfortable) but keep on using the {{Keypress|Ctrl}} key for Ctrl + mouse clicks. | ||
