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''': 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]].  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, maybe people who use the mouse in their left hand might like to change it to use the right-hand side {{Keypress|R Shift}} key on the keyboard... All the same points apply to the Ctrl key and Sprint, ''mutatis mutandis''.
