Click player menu getting in the way of object interaction. (added solution)

Original title "Out of my way Fatso before i invite you to party"

Players they get in the way when i want to interact with items (case example Telescope/talk to NPC) but instead of being able to do so i get the click player menu i am aware of an imput command that prevents this however i have had no luck in using it. So should players go on a diet or is there another way (or some help with this command) i can use to cut down/eliminate this issue which FREQUENTLY interferes with my experience.

Alrighty i am gonna repost the quote from hanniblesmith so this info is at the top for anyone who comes to this thread

Try going to keyboard options and change "Interact/Loot" to some other key (I use "G").
Then, in chat, type "/bind f ++interact".

We are used to pressing F to pick up loot, open doors, etc. so it's a natural.
BUT, if you want to revive a player during combat, or interact with one, then you have to remember to press "G" (or other key of your choice).

Happy fat-ignoring!

Change your camera angle - I usually look down on my toon from above to interact with stuff

Seems like a workaround but i might give it a go. (chances are i have done it already over the last few years and still getting medicore results and suffering long term frustrations)

Forum rules say no.

You can also use the /interactincludevolume command.

Yes, I key bind my 'g' key to do something like that long time ago. I am not sure that was the one I used. May be it was.
Anyway, when people is 'f'ing the telescope and each other, I just 'g' it and leave.

Thanks @greywynd for that, I'm going to have to look that up and try it out

the big problem is that you get the prompt but before you press F they plop in and it changes right before you press F. The change I would like is that If my toon doesn't move or camera doesn't move then don't change what is in the box for F

I keybound the interact command to an extra mousebutton back during Jubilee. Seriously, that is a game changer for stuff like this.
