Summary0006443: Some gamepad settings, like some bindings and gamepad values, are not listed in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg
DescriptionSome active gamepad bindings are not listed in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg and can therefore not easily be changed by the user:
* LONG_PRESS PAD_A is used to "jump-mantle", which differs from PRESS PAD_A which does "_jump" (this is mentioned in https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22337-gamepad-bindings/)
* left analogue stick is used for walking
* right analogue stick is used for turning player (and for rotating objects when used with "Manipulate")
* when the player holds an object in front of them, tapping down and up will move the object closer and further away
* "_parry" is also "Manipulate"; "Manipulate"+right_stick is rotate object held in front of player

Some gamepad related values are not listed and can therefore not easily be changed by the user

Proposed change:
* List all active gamepad bindings in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg so the user can view and change them
* Several values can be controlled and can be added to (the bottom of) DarkmodPadbinds.cfg with their default values:
** in_padMouseSpeed "2.5" (but should perhaps be "4.0")
** in_padDeadZone "0.15"
** in_padInverseRX "0"
** in_padInverseRY "0"
** in_padLongPressTimeMs "250"
** in_padL3HoldWhileDeflected "1"
** in_padInvertPitchAxis "0" (not documented in link, but available in Console)
** in_padInvertYawAxis "0" (not documented in link, but available in Console)
** in_padTwoButtonMaxTimeMs "50" (not documented in link, but available in Console)
** in_yawSpeed "140"
** in_pitchSpeed "140"
** ... and possibly more. In Console, type "in_" and press tab to see variables and their current values.
** See https://github.com/fholger/thedarkmodvr/wiki/Gamepad-support for descriptions
Steps To Reproduce* Stand in front of a knee-high ledge
* PRESS PAD_A – Player jumps up and lands (expected because it is defined in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg)
* LONG_PRESS PAD_A – Player jumpmantles up on the ledge (unexpected because it is not defined in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg)
* Step down
* PRESS PAD_B – Player crouches (expected because it is defined in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg)
* uncrouch
* LONG_PRESS PAD_A – Player mantles up on the ledge (expected because it is defined in DarkmodPadbinds.cfg)

N.b. that "_jumpmantle" is not listed as an action in https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Bindings_and_User_Settings#Controls/Actions but it is possible for the player to do that movement, and it differs from regular "_mantle"
