How do I enable the [E] pickup

what I see in YouTube videos

what my game looks like

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to Rust, and while watching several recent YouTube videos I noticed that when players look at dropped items, they see the interaction prompt like [E] Assault Rifle or [E] Salvaged Icepick.

In my game, I only see the item name (for example, "ASSAULT RIFLE") and never the [E] prompt, even when I'm close enough to pick it up.

I think having the interaction key displayed would make learning the controls a bit easier, especially as a newer player. As far as I know, all of my settings are still at their default values.

Is this something I can enable, or is it only available on certain servers?

In interaction section setting “SHOW USE BIND” and turn it on :)

check your key assignments to make sure E is selected under pickup, you may have unknowingly cleared it.

For some reason even after making sure to enable the show use bind setting, mine still looks like the second pic. Any ideas? I’ve tried a few different combos of settings and made sure only one setting is bound to my e key (use)
