What is the key binding for walking? It's not listed anywhere and it really comes in handy for not launching yourself off ledges

Probably a dumb question but can you 2h the offhand weapon/shield by holding triangle like in DS?

Vaulting is the dumbest mechanic in the game. They literally tell you on the tutorial to walk towards a railing and press circle, but later on in the game, you vault by just walking into a railing. So if, for instance, you are trying to vault onto a narrow ledge (like the one in tower of latria by the ballista) and you press circle, the input is saved and you end up rolling off into the abyss. Every time I experience jank like this in the remake, I hear Gavin Moore’s voice saying “the untouched essence of the game around which everything else has been beautifully remade.” So you completely redesign the aesthetic to look and feel nothing like the original atmosphere, but you keep in this dumb sh!t? Lol.
