rotating character to face arrow keys

EDIT I NOW HAVE ONE SCRIPT sorry about that. I figured out how to combine the two.

all i want is that whenever i press left or right my character turns in that direction instead of strafing as he does. can anyone please help?

public float speed = 6.0F;
public float jumpSpeed = 8.0F;
public float gravity = 20.0F;
private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
private Animation anim;
private CharacterController controller;

void Awake() {
	anim = GetComponent<Animation>();
	controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}

void Update() {
	CharacterController controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
	if (controller.isGrounded) {
		moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
		moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
		moveDirection *= speed;
		if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
			moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;

		if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q)) {
			
			if (controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("walk");     
			transform.Rotate(0, -speed, 0);
		}
		if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)) {
			
			if (controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("walk");     
			
		}
		if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)) {
			
			if (controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("walk");     
			
		}
		
		if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)) {
			
			if (controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("walk");
			transform.Rotate(0, speed, 0);
		}
		if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)) {
			
			if (controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("walk");
		}
		if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.S)) {
			
			if (controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("walk");
		}
		if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.Space)) {
			if (!controller.isGrounded)
				anim.CrossFade("jump");
		}
		
		{	 
			if(Input.anyKey == false)
				if (controller.isGrounded)
					anim.CrossFade("idle");
			
		}

	}
	moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
	controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
}

}

You could tell the transform to LookAt the point you’re walking toward, but you didn’t like that so let’s try Quaternion.RotateTowards…

// ... your other code omitted...
     controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime); // This line you got already.
     LookAtDirection(moveDirection);
}

// Move these variables to the top...
public float degreesPerSecond = 90f;
Quaternion targetRotation;

void LookAtDirection(Vector3 moveDirection)
{
     Vector3 xzDirection = new Vector3(moveDirection.x, 0, moveDirection.z);
     if (xzDirection.magnitude > 0)
         targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(xzDirection);

     transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, 
         targetRotation, degreesPerSecond * Time.deltaTime);
}
// ... your other code omitted...
