The 'grab' or 'z' button ...is there one?

As the tittle says, is there a grab button like in Oblivion? doesn't seem to be a default one . Maybe it's hidden in an ini file?

If you hold down the loot button (default 'E' on PCs) for a few seconds it should "grab" the item/corpse you're looking at.

I was told to hold down the use button? Not tried it yet, just got in from work, coincidently read it on a forum at work.

Everyone's right. Hold the "Use" button for about two seconds (maybe less) and you should be able to drag things around and such.

Hold either:
"X", "A" or "E"

That covers all the systems. :)

If you try to "grab" a companion this way, it will also bring up the command interface so you can tell them what to do without opening up dialogue with them.

Is there a way to rotate grabbed objects? I'm trying to display my troll skulls and it's a real pain.

No, I don't think so. Grab was actually better in oblivion. In oblivion if you were to grab the top of a book it would dangle from the spot that you grabbed. In skyrim the book would dangle from the center of the object. It's impossible to arrange books upright.

Thats why we now have bookshelves that autoarrange books.
