Reload functionality not supported for controllers(?)

[ovaranytsya]

Couldn't figure out how to reload while using a controller (Xbox, in my case, but it probably applies to any controller) – apparently, this functionality is not supported for controllers (as of now).

Suggestion:
Since only the D-pad buttons are currently unassigned, reload could be assigned to either one of the D-pad buttons or one of the ABXY buttons, if the abilities are swapped from the ABXY buttons to the D-pad buttons (though the latter option would also create a need to reassign the other 3 commands for the ABXY buttons, which might be suboptimal).

Just noticed this missing feature has been mentioned briefly in

Thread 'Uncorrect switch from controller to M/K layout'

Aug 11, 2024

Hi everyone, since the controllers aren't shown as supported commands in the Settings (but the Xbox button layout shows in the gameplay) I'd like to report this problem.
When I play with the Xbox Controller (and probably every other XInput devices) the layout isn't complete and set and I cannot play properly (for example, I cannot reload with it).

Hot-switch to mouse is possible, but the game sometimes doesn't recognize this and continue to show the Xbox button for every commands.
I don't know how to log this behaviour, but in any case I'd happy to help on this.

but I believe it should have more visibility in a separate thread.
