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.

* '''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.

* '''Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint''': Several actions in-game require a combination of either the {{Keypress|Shift}} key or the {{Keypress|Ctrl}} key, as well as a mouseclick (left or right mouse button).  By default, the Shift key is also the key used for [[Controls#Movement controls|Sneak]], so if you happen to change Sneak to a different key, that will also have the effect of changing the key which has to be pressed for Shift + mouseclick as well.  Some people like that (thinking of it as "Sneak + mouseclick"), some people don't like that at all...  If you don't want that, then unlocking mouse modifiers means you can keep on using {{Keypress|Shift}} as the Shift key for mouseclicks, even though the Sneak key has changed to something different. Or you can leave the Sneak key as it is but change only the Shift key for mouseclicking. All the same points apply to the Ctrl key and Sprint - for example, use this setting if you want to change the Sprint key to Q or R (some people find that more comfortable) but keep on using the Ctrl key for Ctrl + mouse clicks.
* '''Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint''': Several actions in-game require a combination of either the {{Keypress|Shift}} key or the {{Keypress|Ctrl}} key, as well as a mouseclick (left or right mouse button).  By default, the Shift key is also the key used for [[Controls#Movement controls|Sneak]], and with that default this settings is probably not relevant to you. But if you happen to change Sneak to a different key, then it becomes important: by default (locked), changing the Sneak control will also have the effect of changing the key which has to be pressed for Shift + mouseclick as well.  Some people like that (thinking of it as "Sneak + mouseclick"), some people don't like that at all (they want to change Sneak without changing Shift ...) 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 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.
People who use the mouse in their '''left hand''' might like to change these settings to use the right-hand side {{Keypress|R Shift}} key on the keyboard for Shift + mouse click actions.

* In the Mouse controls tab, from game version 1.19.4 the mouse buttons can be reconfigured.
* In the Mouse controls tab, from game version 1.19.4, the mouse buttons can themselves be reconfigured, for example to swap left and right mouse buttons, or assign a keyboard control instead of the middle mouse button.
