Ability to remap keys (E, R, Alt) while using a container?

Most of the time I open a container I immediately close it. I was thinking it would be nice if I could remap those keys that can be used when using a container (E, R, and Alt). The reason for this is that I would probably swap E and Alt so E would basically become a container open/close toggle. Normally I move slightly to close a container but thought a single open/close key would be nice as well. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have those keys remapped using the vanilla UI.
    I use "Enter" to open a container and another "Enter" to take all and close the container.

    That allows me to quickly glance over the items and then taken them all with just 2nd quick hit on "Enter".

    I don't like auto loot because every once in a while i do get junk i don't want.

    I must not have found the right one then. Do you remember which one it is? I thought I tested everything that had "Alt" in the key mapping and was still given "Alt" to close a container. Otherwise, Alt normally just opens the inventory if I remember right.

    I'm at work right now but in the key mapping section there is another setting for something call "secondary action" (or something similar).

    I set both my main container interaction and the secondary interaction to "Enter" and that works for me.

    Thank you. I will give it another shot. I think I remapped that but maybe I never actually tried it because the "Alt" text still showed up in the corner when I opened the container.

    I tried it out. Unfortunately, it looks like I can only remap "Primary Action/Accept" (Take) and "Secondary Action" (Take All). There doesn't seem to be a way to remap the Exit action. Would anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    I see, exit without taking. Is "Alt" the default exit key?

    Isn't it also the default for exiting siege equipment? Maybe they share the same keybind?

    Just about every window or dialog can be closed with Alt. So it is propably put there as some kind of "Cancel Dialog" or "Close Window" button.
    I think the inventory screen belongs into the same area as the map window, inventory window and the dialog window. But not sure.
