[2022] In-flight lock feature for gyrocopter?

The drop item key used to be Q. You know, right next to your WASD. I can't prove the cause and effect, but that was changed the alpha after Madmole was seen in a video, pressing Q to accidentally drop his only bow over the wall of his base, on horde night.

Conclusion: to get this changed, we have to root for Madmole to fall out of his gyrocopter.
