You do know there's a separate key for 'action' and 'pick up weapon', right? E is the default action key that allows you to reload, switch weapons and get into vehicles, but X is the default to ONLY switch weapons (and so it doesn't take a few seconds to grab something off the floor), and you don't get sucked into vehicles.
I use 'Q' for melee, Ctrl for crouch and F for flashlight from a long time of half life crouch-jumping and torch use.
