I understand that the intent was to make thing simpler for new players, but the rework of the controls is honestly just terrible. The original ones were hard to get used to, sure, but once you did, it was snappy, fast, and didn't get in your way. Now, I have to wait half a second to just open a box's inventory, which is a huge pain when I'm trying to clean all of the new clutter around the base and get it out of sight. That adds up quickly, and leads to an overall less satisfying and more irritating gameplay loop for me, and it's getting to the point where I'm considering not even playing because of how fundamentally broken the new controls feel. Even just adding a toggle to use the old ones would be a great idea. Please? I love this game and don't want this to be the reason I can't keep playing.

You can decrease the long hold time in the settings under Game-->input. I would also recommend toggling "swap press/hold r" if you don't like the current setup. And if you want the old throwing system back, change "show throw trajectory" in the binds to left alt. The e/r system works well, but for whatever reason they chose the most annoying default setup for it.
probably a pain in the ass to offer support between old and new controls but if it would be possible to offer both, so people who are used to the old control can resume doing things quickly like when you're cleaning up the base and going around grabing items from the floor and moving it to places like the compost bins or containers very quickly hundreds of times intead of stoping everything between each item
Agreed. I tried to work with the controls in 0.9.0 unstable, but they drove me insane. The new controls effectively lock me out of this game. We need an option for the old controls, and if I have to use these new controls going forward, then this is where I get off. Like I say, I tried. I can't do it after the quick and precise controls of previous versions.
