Vanilla controls as NVSE inputs?

I mean to whack a dead brahmin if this has been asked before, but Google doesn't return the answer I'm looking for. Would anyone happen to know if there a mod that recreates the basic controls (the ones found in the Settings menu) as NVSE inputs? (The only answers I can find are to the question of whether it's possible to enable simultaneous keyboard and gamepad functionality, which I know is not possible but is not what I am asking).

 

So, as we all know by now, keyboards and gamepads can't be used together except when a mod adds a new control. I could be playing with a Xbox controller but could still use the "G" key to throw a grenade with Project Nevada installed, for instance.

 

I have been able to circumvent the mutual exclusivity to some degree by using a program like Joy2Key to map a mod control to a gamepad button and make the button share commands. For instance, since holding the activate command (A button or "E" key) is not something anyone would do in normal gameplay, I can set the A button to emulate the shift key, and then I can hold the A button to use Project Nevada's sprint.

 

If I wanted to sacrifice a hotkey, I could also use Joy2Key to make a single press of the D-pad down button activate Project Nevada's enhanced vision and a double tap activate the stealth field. However, that functionality isn't possible for another button that has an immediate effect from a normal control. I can't, for instance, get Bullet time to activate by double tapping the VATS button because VATS will always activate as soon as I touch the button.

 

But if I could find a mod that recreates the normal controls in the same way that a mod like Project Nevada adds new ones, I could unmap the controller buttons in FalloutNV.ini and then use Joy2Key to assign commands as I see fit. I really like analog movement on the left stick, guys.

 

Thanks ahead of time.

I wouldn't say a game controller and keyboard CAN'T be used together. They just need some help that essentially treats the controller like a secondary mouse & keyboard. Please see the 'Issue: Keyboard and/or mouse don't work with a game controller installed', "Solution-1" entry in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.
