The controls are endlessly difficult to change. It's very difficult and annoying to change them, and when I'm mentoring newbs, they need help on how to do it and I really can't tell them much. Maybe an easier way to change the controls would be helpful?

If you can not figure out the simple process of changing the simple control system of VO perhaps you shouldn't be mentoring anyone.

Changing the controls has got to be one of the easiest things about VO. Its not broke, so don't fix it.

Or go to Options -> Controls
