Just use a PC, where "act on thing" can be one of 57 possible letters and/or combinations.
When a console game finally releases a PC port and the title screen still says "Press Start," you know the keys are going to be completely unhinged like, "I" to open your inventory. "C" is yes, and "V" is no, except in the escape menu, where "Enter" is yes and "Backspace" is extra-yes. Left-click to either attack or walk forward, depending on how your character is feeling.
Press ctrl+shift+alt+Num0 to pay respect
Still presses F when it's bound to E
I can't ever help troubleshoot control issues on Minecraft because I remap everything to be sensible inputs (who the flip thought sprint should be CTRL?!)
Sprint on q for you, too?
It's usually E or F, at least. Except when it's space. Or tab. Wait, I've seen C, Z, and X before, too.
Seriously PC devs, get your shit together. What's even worse is when the sequel changes the keys with no discernible reason, so I can play the games back to back only to have the hardest time.
