Controls

Njordlinger is laid out for a controller. Unbind Vanilla Controls moves the game's own actions around and gives other mods' actions a button; Perfected Wheeler puts items, spells and powers on a radial wheel. Button names are Xbox names.

Control maps to download

Drawn at build time from data/controlmap-resolved.json, which is resolved from the same live files as the tables below (200 bindings).

In the world

Button	What it does	From
Left stick	Move	game
Right stick	Look	game
A	Activate	game
X	Ready or sheathe your weapon	game
Y	Jump	game
L3 (left stick click)	Sneak	game
RB	Right hand: attack, or block	Unbind Vanilla Controls
LB	Left hand: attack, or block	Unbind Vanilla Controls
RT	Power attack	One Click Power Attack, bound by Unbind Vanilla Controls
LT + LB	Shout (LT is the modifier)	Unbind Vanilla Controls
B	Sprint. Dodge is on the sprint button too	Unbind Vanilla Controls; TK Dodge
R3 (right stick click)	Target lock: tap to lock, tap again to let go	True Directional Movement
D-pad down, held	Open the wheel. A tap stays the game's own D-pad	Perfected Wheeler
D-pad up	Your horse: tap for wait or follow (when mounted, the horse's inventory); hold for about 0.7 seconds to call it	Simplest Horses, bound by Unbind Vanilla Controls
D-pad left	Stance key	Stances NG, bound by Unbind Vanilla Controls
Back	Tween menu (skills, map, magic, items)	Unbind Vanilla Controls
Start	Pause menu	Unbind Vanilla Controls

TODO: check the "game" rows (move, look, activate, ready weapon, jump, sneak) in game; they are the Skyrim defaults that Unbind Vanilla Controls does not change. Also say how dodge is triggered (a tap of B, or B with a direction).

TODO: what D-pad right does in the world, if anything (in the wheel it moves to the next wheel; Perfected Wheeler's ammo wheel shipped on D-pad right).

Not bound on the controller

The controller has no button for Wait, the Journal, the vanilla Favorites menu, or Toggle POV (first or third person). Their old buttons were freed for the actions above. The wheel replaces Favorites. TODO: how to wait and how to open the quest journal (the pause menu, the Tween menu, or a wheel entry).

In menus

Inventory: hold Y on a favourited item to put it in your Back Pocket, or on a pocketed item to take it out. A tap of Y is still the game's Favorite. (Back Pocket For Controller)
Dialogue: R3 switches between first and third person while you talk. (Switch Camera During Dialogue)
Text boxes in the mod menus: highlight the box and press A; an on-screen keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen. The D-pad moves across it and A types. (Apocrypha Menu Framework)

The wheel

Hold D-pad down to open Perfected Wheeler. While it is open the game is paused and the left stick moves around the wheel.

Button	In the wheel
D-pad right / D-pad left	Next / previous wheel
RT / LT	Next / previous item in a slot
RB / LB	Use the slot's primary / secondary action
B	Close the wheel
L3	Rotate the wheel

Edit mode, for building your own wheels:

Button	In edit mode
Y	Add a wheel
A	Add an empty slot
X	Show the edit hints
R3	Pick a slot up, move it, press again to drop it
Left stick right / left	Move the whole wheel forward / back

TODO: how a player enters edit mode, and which RB / LB action equips to which hand.

Keyboard and mouse

The list can be played on a keyboard, but it is not laid out for one. Unbind Vanilla Controls leaves the keyboard's Journal, Quick Inventory, Quick Magic, Quick Map, Quick Stats, Wait, Favorites, Quick Save, Quick Load, Auto-Move and Toggle Always Run keys unbound. B opens the wheel, F1 opens the mod settings menu, and on the keyboard a tap of F (Toggle POV) is the target lock.

TODO: a full keyboard table, if keyboard players are to be supported.

Read from the list's own settings

These tables are read from the settings files the list actually loads each time this site is built, so they follow the list when a binding changes.
