Trying to mount or unmount your horse, having to press the keyboard key "R", but instead, an NPC dialog is triggered. The same thing happens viceversa. This is frustrating.
Suggestion
Create an option in settings that allow a different keyboard key to NPC interactions, from the Horse mounting action. If anyone desires to keep them both on the same key, it should also be possible, so that way no one has to feel a change if they dont want it.
Also, it would be amazing if one can make the interaction be on a combination of keys instead. I would use [Shift] + [R] to unmount, so i dont accidentally unmount a horse while riding and fighting.
It does seem like pretty poor design, though I expect that the reason for it is that it didn't used to be possible to talk to people when on your horse, and when they made that change, they didn't change the keys involved.
In any case, there is a workaround in that if you back up while dismounting, you will dismount rather than talking to anyone. I was very happy to find out about that given how annoying it was before to dismount when any NPCs were nearby.
Neat, I wonder if this trick works on my wagon though. Thats where I had trouble especially on Heidel mainstreet.
Back + R to unmount
(was add 2 or 3 years ago)

I agree 110%. I've been joking with friends about this since I started playing.
Since we're talking mounts, also would be great if the mount inventory option is a toggle instead of automatically being intrusive every time your horse is near your storage.
Sadly, while pressing back + R works to unmount, it doesnt work for the other functions if thats the desired objective. Such as mounting instead of starting dialog, or viceversa, or Talking while mounted on the horse, which often dismount the character even when one doesnt want it, especially on crowded space. This is the main reason why the suggested idea would generally solve all of this issues.
I wonder if the GMs read and attend this suggestions through this forums.

Reading weekly patch notes would answer this.
