Please stop making us press CTRL constantly

First there were the Buried Lost Chests in Dry Top, then the Lost Bandit Chests in Silverwastes, now the Nightmare Pods, which all require us to keep CTRL pressed at all times to be able to see their name. For the Nightmare Pods, this is especially problematic because every second of hesitation in the labyrinth could mean death and having to start over, while you also have to be ready to dodge or use skill 1 any moment.

My computer has troubles with recognizing a lot of keys pressed at once and my wrist always hurts from the strain of having to keep a key pressed constantly, just to be able to see item names in the game. I’m not sure what the benefit of this is anyway and I can’t see any reason why we shouldn’t be allowed to always see names without having to press anything. Why can’t we just get an option to turn item names (like chests, gathering nodes, etc.) on and off like player and NPC names? Then everyone could be happy with the option they prefer.

Please, please consider to remove this unnecessary complication and make life easier for everyone whose hand/wrist hurts from this, or who is just annoyed by it even without pain because it isn’t good for anything in the game.
