    For me, if I open the Input.ini file and search for the terms, they don't come up at all. Can someone help?

    YAY! Fixed it. At first i thought it doesn't work because i didn't find the bindings for photo mode on the appropriate settings screen, but then i realized that when i go to the book menu, the photo mode is available again. So great! Thanks!

    Thank you, this worked like a charm! I had a mod installed that changed the broom controls, and the changes wouldn't stick with it enabled. But after I removed it, it works fine
