Here's a video that illustrates the point.

Kingdom of Amalur Keymapping and Controls for PC Players

Yes, you can change how the movement keys are mapped.

To auto run, you can adjust the run key.  Here's how. (But see the Comment below.  This isn't really "auto run.")

In a related topic, the Field of View (FOV) cannot be changed currently but apparently the developer is working on a patch.  Red Joe Q's comments here.

There is a tool to remap your controls. Note that there is one download for the demo and another for the full game and make sure you read the comments for more information.

Kingdom of Amalur Inventory System, Carry Weight, Storage Boxes, Houses

There's a bit of information on how things stack in your inventory in the link below.  Note some vendors sell backpacks that allow you to carry more items. Apparently you can find them in most of the cities early in the game (but there is an article with a list of backpack vendors). I've previously posted about quests that give you a house for storage as a quest reward.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/991144-kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/61898808

It is possible that once you have a house as the result of a quest and buy upgrades to the house, some increased inventory space is part of the upgrade to the house.  I have no idea how/if this works, though.  Here is a bit about the A Tangled Web side mission that unlocks a residence in Canneroc called Gossamar End, which is in Webwood somewhere. read both links.  See the article here called How To Buy A House for more detailed information.  Basically, you either get the key off the body of Barten or get it from him when you return to the town with him.  Then buy the upgrades from the blacksmith Billus Aldeth (spelling?).
http://www.ign.com/wikis/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/A_Tangled_Web

http://www.ign.com/wikis/kingdoms-of-amalur-reckoning/Gossamer_End

To put things in your new chest (there just seems to be one and the spider that is supposed to be in the house doesn't seem to be there, just webs), use the letter R to select items, then left click with the mouse button to put things in your chest one by one.  There is a limit to the number of items that will fit.  If you are wearing something, you have to remove it before putting it in the chest.  Things are not organized when in the storage chest apparently.  They don't seem to be organized alphabetically or by type anyway.

UPDATE:  Backpacks can be purchased several places to increase your carry capacity.  Here is a partial list.  Note the explanation of how they work.

Can You Buy a House in Amalur?

Can you have a house in Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning? The answer seems to be you can get them as quest rewards.  Details here.

Here are four more houses, some as quest rewards and others apparently you just show up.

Redeeming the Kingdom of Amalur DLC

To redeem your DLC codes for in-game content, go to the xBox Live Marketplace or PS3 Network if you are playing a console version of the game.  If you are playing the PC version, check for a URL listed with your code.  Goto that site to redeem the code.  Once it is redeemed for the PC, it may appear in either your Origins Game Library or be accessed within the game itself, depending on the game.  For Kingdom of Amalur, the DLC is accessed within the game.  You go to the site and enter the codes and nothing happens, but when you go into the game the Downloadable Content (DLC) items are in the special treasure chest.
http://help.ea.com/article/origin-code-redemption-faq

It may be obvious to you, but it wasn't to me.  By the way, here is what is in the DLC.
