Not too sure: Controls is a rather general term, not too obviously related to keyboard and mouse, Switching mode is a rather opaque term and probably easier to locate as a separate tab...

These proposed changes would also break support on many existing forum posts in the short and medium term.

Just my two penn'orth... :wink:

well, maybe combining all into single tab does not worth it
but I still like reworked Swithing mode controls

I am sure that in general we have very similar thought patterns in terms of desires to rationalise and improve... :D

But here I think that 'discoverability' is an issue.
