I thought the E key was supposed to pick things up and move them. But when I hit E, I just add the things to my inventory.

I know this worked when I first started playing because it annoyed the piss out of me that I was moving crap around instead of picking it up and keeping it.

Help me.

I can no longer grab and move things.

You need to hold the E key in until the item become attached to your grip.

As soon as I hit E, it goes into my inventory.

Dont HIT the 'E" key..

Press and hold (single key press) not just a tap....you will notice the thing jump a bit....now you can let go of the "E" key , the thing is attached to your grip. To let go....tap the "E" key once. Takes a sec to get used to...

- (normal key press)

_____ press and hold for 2 secs

I wonder whether this is related to keyboard sensitivity somehow.

It confused the heck out of me at first (not least because press-and-hold is not documented).

On my PC, perversely, many objects are lifted by a quick tap on E. Another quick tap drops them. After that, strangely, quick tap stores them in inventory as expected. This is especially common with corpses and items which are not in containers. The problem is easily reproduced.

Other objects go into inventory with a quick tap from the get-go.

Press-and-hold E always lifts.

Fast double-tap E always places in inventory.

Does anyone know of a setting that can be adjusted for this?

Has anyone else even seen the problem?
