About this mod
A remap for controllers that keeps it simple. It's all you need and nothing you want.
- Permissions and credits
Don't like complicated controller maps? Then this is for you.
Three Versions Included (only install one)
1) Unassigned Menu/Start and Window/Back keys
2) Original Menu/Start and Window/Back keys (2 versions)
This mod is inspired from GammaLead's and Chevy8t8's modded controller scheme.
The hotkeys are not dependent on managing to press the "corner keys" (up and left, down and left, etc.) exactly at the same time. As I use an Xbox One controller, I find hitting the diagonals exactly right is near impossible, likely due to the different d-pad design.
NOTE ON SKSE: To assign keyboard hotkeys on SKSE, it is necessary to disable the "controller" option in Skyrim's in-game settings. This is a game limitation, as the game was meant to be played with either controller, or keyboard/mouse, not both.
TL;DR: This mod keeps the default vanilla controls, and adds a "Shift" button (LB)* enabled alternate setup for most keys, allowing for:
- 8 configurable hotkeys**
- No quick map, inventory, magic list or stats
- No quick save or quick load
- Quick pause, through opening the console (great for pausing the game and allowing mods to still load/perform tasks as usual, or for those who like to cheat with commands)
*LB was chosen because its function is now tap-activated (toggle sprint) rather than Skyrim 2011's "hold to sprint". This way, the other keys can be accessed with limited issues. Don't want to sprint when using a "shift" power? Don't move or tap LB while moving forward; press and hold LB to make your selection.
**Please note: By converting the d-pad keys, it ruined its functionality as a menu control (scroll up/down) for the favorites menu. That said, the favorites menu can still be navigated via the left stick. All other menus (e.g., character chat, opening a chest, accessing inventory) will function normally with d-pad controls, as do the unassigned menu/start and window/back keys. (Except map to journal, for some reason.)
This was needed, as to assign a favorite item to a hotkey you need to press down the button and hold for a second. (For other hotkeys, press "shift" (LB) + the additional button when hovering over the desired favorite and hold to map it.)
