I'm sorry, but I found that impossible to understand. Specifically:
- It is not clear to me whether you are talking about the '1' key on your keyboard, or your left mouse button, and how those are related. I think you _may_ be talking about your first skill, but it's simply not clear
- It is unclear what exactly you mean by "locked out"
- It is unclear how picking up items figures into this, it should work simply by either left-clicking the name of the item, or holding the Alt key while left-clicking on the item, depending on your settings.

If you're talking about key bindings, you can change those in "Menu -> Options -> Input".

If you're talking about skill settings, you can set those by simply left-clicking on the skill slot, and then selecting the skill that you want to use in this slot. If you want to use the first skill slot for basic attacks, just left-click it, then select the 'sword' symbol.

If that's not the solution you're after, please clarify the problem, so that we can understand it better.

I'm sorry, but this is still very unclear.

There is no 'bound key 1' in the options. There is a key 1, but by default it's bound to a flask I think. There is a setting for 'Use bound _skill_ 1', which I still think you might mean, but you keep talking about a 'bound key 1' instead of a 'bound skill 1'. So it just remains unclear I'm afraid.

The 'Use bound skill 1' setting is hardwired to your left mouse button. It cannot be changed. That's why it's greyed out in the menu.

You can use other skill slots for moving around. Just left-click on the skill slot, and select the 'footprints' icon. You can then rebind the key for that skill. This way you can use a custom key for moving around, I'm not sure if it also works picking items up though (I wouldn't expect it to).

Edit: Tested it - you cannot bind the 'pick up' action to a differnet skill slot, or a different key. You have to use the first skill slot, and the first skill slot is hardwired to your left mouse button.

yep well would you have any idea why some of my options are locked and unchangeable

Without knowing which options you're talking about exactly, that's hard to tell.

As stated above, the option "Input -> Use bound skill 1" is hardwired to the left mouse button, it cannot be changed. The reason for this is simply "because GGG coded it that way", I'm not sure if they explained it in more detail.

"Graphics -> Adapter" is unchangeable if you have only one graphics card.

"UI -> Networking Mode" is unchangeable if you are logged into a character, but can be changed from the login screen or the character selection screen.

Everything else should be changeable.
