-you can abort shooting an already loaded arrow by pressing A
-use B also to move back in the menu
-hold the left shoulder button (bumper) to switch to this set
-if a button has two names, seperated by a /, then it means that the first one is assigned on tap and the second one on hold
-hold the QuickLoad button (Back) for 0.70 seconds to load the Quick Save
-you can also turn pages with "Prev.Weapon" (Dpad left) and "Next Weapon" (Dpad right), strangely this doesn't work with the maps
-the right stick has a 80% DeadZone the prevent selecting the wrong item
[Important]Actually this game has a native controller support. But there are problems because a of a too small Dead Zone. Apart from the usual problem with that, it also isn't possible to edit the controls in-game (only by editing your options.ini file) since the game detects the axis 'JoyR' all the time. This also seems to cause a crash when selecting one of the first three entries to edit.
The problem with using Xpadder is, that the left stick is preconfigured by the game, so there will still be this usual problem with this Dead Zone.
Simple solution:
Delete these gampad assignments by right clicking on 'JoyX' and 'JoyY' under Options->Inputs in the game.
Advanced solution to have a fully analog left stick (not only in three steps):
Open the "DEFAULT.INI" of the game, you'll find it under ...\Thief - Deadly Shadows\System. Then edit the the value "DeadZonePercent__t=0.10"->0.20 and save the file (strangely this doesn't solve the problem with detecting 'JoyR' in the input settings of the game).
Open my profile with Xpadder and delete the assignments of all four direction of the left stick in both sets (by clicking with the middle mouse button on them) and save the profile.[Important]
Another hint with this .ini: If you edit following entry, you can turn off the intros.
- "[PCStartup]
ShowIntroMovies=True"->False
