Re-bind inventory selection pop-up to fix grabbing with the index controllers

By aidanr

The default button for bringing up the inventory selection menu is bound to trackpad click by default. For some this can make grabbing objects with the index controller difficult. This is a guide for anyone unfamiliar with index controller bindings to re-map this action to a more suitable button, in this case the thumb stick click.

@stefan.schmidt, yes absolutely. Controls can be edited from desktop or in vr, as the screenshot above shows.

Interesting! I would like to rebind the jumpbutton. Maybe this would work for me too. Is it possible to edit controls using the ordinary PC screen and mouse instead of in VR?
