Highly recommend setting 'drop item' to a key other than Q, since you don't drop items that often and don't want to do it accidentally Personally I set drop item to grave (the one above tab) And use Q for sprint. That's personal preference, though

The F3 menu has your coordinates and a lot of other helpful info. Press F3 to open/close it, or [fn] and F3. F2 Takes a screenshot. F1 Makes the hotbar and stuff disappear. F5 Lets you view yourself in 3rd person.
