We've been using Ctrl for the entire dev process but only realized that the game window would be terminated on the web version when players press Ctrl+W simultaneously. So in order to not have the players freak out when the game suddenly gets closed whenever they try to crouch, we moved the crouch key to Caps-Lock.

E should only work when you are trying to steal from enemies who haven't detected you (which I think we should do a better job at explaining when introducing the concept), it is also possible that you were playing on a version where the E button had a few minor bugs, but it should be patched now.
