Im not crazy about having to hold 'e' to fast move, one would assume when the screen says "fast move enabled" that it actually means it :/ And it doesn't help with repetitive strain injuries either.

In the past such changes were accompanied with a checkbox to re-enable the former behaviour. Please consider it :-)

+1. I don't want to break my fingers. It's relatively hard to type with a broken finger, let alone play a game with one.

In all seriousness, could we have it so E could be lockd down, such as by double-tapping?

You can put a stapler on the "E"-key if you want that it stays pressed down.
The purpose of flying is to build high buildings a bit easier, not to jet around.
If you want to jet around, try an UFO.

I like the old way better too. I've found that if you set aux1_descends=true, which makes 'e' the "down" key, it behaves the old way, where free_move makes you always fly fast.

Thank you for that :-) This should be documented, and the checkbox possibly renamed to 'Classic Move' since it affects more then climb down now. :-)

I say +1/-1... I'm not fond of it but then again I very rarely use fast fly. I will say it is a bit more difficult to fly fast than before.

I have added a setting to enable the old always flying fast (default is true): https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/0437abbffbcff46e33de14c0baedc676f14e7507
