Can we please unbind E from attack?

[BEEFCAKE THE MIGHTY]

Twice now I've attempted to interact with an NPC and because the cursor wasn't dead on, I pulled out my axe and attacked them. I don't see a way to unbind this in the control options.

Pretty sure that's only for tools. When you are finished mining or chopping wood, swap back to your weapons.

Also hit R and you put away weapons. Including axes.

It was a battleaxe. Pressing E to interact with the blacksmith caused it to unsheathe and attack him. Twice.

Weird.

Never had any weapon attack with E unless it's a shovel or a mining pick.

It's not just tools. For some reason all battle axes count as wood chopping axes and they will attack if you press E.

When you go to chop wood it equips your best battle axe that you meet the requirements for instead of equipping the wood chopping axe. That's probably to let you know that you only need one but it can result in accidentally attacking npc's.

The first E equips the battle axe if you had it readied last time (or were chopping wood) then the second one (if you don't notice and try a second time to activate the conversation) swings it.

After chopping wood I advise putting the axe away AND switching to another weapon so you don't accidentally chop stuff like the original version of the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz (his tragic/horror backstory is in the novel but was omitted from the film).

I would prefer ability to change any keybind myself

That's interesting, but I guess it makes sense.

I think we'd all prefer being able to rebind, but I guess here the workaround would be to swap to other weapons.

Absolutely. Always switch weapons after chopping wood.
