ok DUMB QUESTION SORRY HELP

OK sorry for dumb question and please don't abuse me like in another game, ok I am not Einstein." I live "close to the river" and take things to heart.
OK my question is that I am trying to play the game and years ago played and loved it but forgotten everything: So I am in fighting style right now. So I want to build house etc but I don't seem to get the right key to 'switch". The 'Settings' Menu is not really very good I think. Setting tells me Mouse fight and tells me what keys. But then it goes on to tells me THE SAME KEYS to build a house. I tried every key in the Universe but cannot find nor remember how to switch to building from fighting.
Please dont be rude to me. The Setting really is not very clear!

Don't worry- it's not really intuitive. Lots of people have gotten thrown off by this.
I always have my primary weapon in slot #1, my shield in #2, my bow in #3, my ax in #4, and my hammer in #5. If I'm going into a fight, I press 1 and 2. If I am going to shoot something, I press 3. (Make sure to have the correct arrows selected by right-clicking them in your inventory.) If I'm going to chop wood, I press 4, and if I am building I press 5. Hope this helps.

Your wooden hammer in your hotkey bar is for building. If you press that numerical key, you're in building mode.

So for example if your wooden hammer(mallet) is in hotkey bar as #4, then if you press 4 on your keyboard, you'll be in building mode.

If your axe or sword or mace are in a different hotkey, select those in order to fight.

Just equip your hammer to get into build mode. As long as it is equipped Left click become "build", and right click becomes "open build menu" (Unless you've changed your keyboard layout..). Either un-equip or sheath your hammer to exit build mode.

Dumb, stupid, idiot, moron, simpleton, smooth brain, potato head. These are words.

To build, you need to make a hammer. This can be done in inventory menu along with a couple other tools.

Once you make the hammer, equip it and Right-click and this will open the build menu.

You need to make a workbench, once you do you can use the hammer's build option so long as you are within the workbench's area of influence.

Then you need to sufficiently cover the workbench with walls and a roof. This will allow you to actually use the bench in order to repair and make new tools.
