About this mod

Allows keyboard hot keys to be used while using the 360 controller.

Permissions and credits
NOTE: Unless you have a use for using the shout key from the keyboard (like some kind of macro) there is no need to update to 1.0.1. It shouldn't harm anything either though.

360 Keyboard Hotkey Enabler
Created by: NVShacker
12/10/11

Description:
Allows hotkeys 1-8 in the favorites menu to be used from the keyboard while using an Xbox 360 controller with Skyrim. The keyboard key for shout is also enabled.

NOTE: Though 1 and 2 can be used with the keyboard with this, a somewhat less known feature is that they can also be used by holding D-PAD LEFT or D-PAD RIGHT in the favorites menu.

Installation Instructions:
Extract the contents of the archive to your Skyrim folder. For Steam users, that'll be your Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim folder.

Known Bugs:
None I've had in play thus far, though it is possible you'll be able to use the favorite keys at times you're not supposed to.

Compatability:
This mod will override controlmap.txt, in Skyrims\Data\Interface\PC\controls so anything that changes that will be overridden. At present, that would be the excellent Interface Hard Coded Key Tweaks by crazy-g. If you wish to use both mods at once, manually editing controlmap.txt and replacing the lines between Hotkey1 and Hotkey8 with:
Hotkey10x02,0x4f0xff0x0004000
Hotkey20x03,0x500xff0x0008000
Hotkey30x04,0x510xff0xff100
Hotkey40x05,0x4b0xff0xff100
Hotkey50x06,0x4c0xff0xff100
Hotkey60x07,0x4d0xff0xff100
Hotkey70x08,0x470xff0xff100
Hotkey80x09,0x480xff0xff100
Will allow hotkeys to be used with the 360 controller while it's in use.

Thanks:
crazy-g, for his interface mod, which made me aware of the existence of controlmap.txt

Changelog:
