If The game always worked like it should.....hahahahahaha, this might have value. But The main quests break, and then what? How are you going to use setstage mq206 100? Or just delete the character and try again? No thanks. The console has serious purpose.
Indeed; I wasn't judging, but I couldn't do without it. I have 252 mods right now; guess how I'd fare without the console? I am however still learning the game structure, so I was grateful for this my first exposure to controlmaps.txt.
My only complaint is that it doesn't seem compatible with NMM. I'm no modder, I don't even know if it can be compatible, but I do know that that's a disappointment. Because when Skyrim genuinely breaks, it would be great to be able to go into NMM and disable the mod so that I can use the console to fix it, and then go back and enable it again.
The author's name is certainly not "ME". More to the point, his file is essentially the same approach as here, overriding the default controlmap.txt file in skyrim.bsa. However, your comment that it is easier to install doesn't make much sense, and I also noticed what appears to be a flaw in the embedded folder structure that means it shouldn't ever function:
No Console Use ... Interface ......Controls .........PC
If you were to extract that file into either /Skyrim or /Skyrim/Data, the nested file will not be placed where it needs to be to function. The person extracting it would have to notice this and correct it, also meaning that it MUST be installed manually in spite of having a misleading NMM download link. How exactly is that easier?

Why is it that there are so few endorsements? That's just not fair.
You've made my life in skyrim so much more easy.
And with no loss of xbox360 control support or loss
of limb.
