So I have been playing Arena and I am half through the main quest. It have always been a bit hard to pick stuff up from the floor like keys because you have to back away just so you still can get the crosshair to match up with the object. But is there any easier way to pick up stuff from the floor? Is it possible to crouch or look down somehow?

Right now I am in real big trouble because I have ended up in a cave where I need to pick up an object I think is crucial but it is standing on a platform like a "pedistal". I can climb up on this "pedistal" but because I cant look down I cant pick up the object on it!! Its really frustrating!
