How to rebind keys

Inventory: F2 → "Settings" → "General" → "Inventory": Tab, I or J. If you pick Tab, the player list moves to CapsLock.
Action key: F2 → "Settings" → "Keys" → "Action key" → "Assign", then press the new key (Esc cancels). Keys already in use can't be assigned: H, for example, is taken by hands up. "Reset to G" puts it back. The choice is stored on this computer only.
Everything else: Esc → "Settings" → "Key Bindings" → FiveM.
