Controller Axis cannot be mapped to character (EVA) movement

[ZeroG]

I searched around a bit and didn't see this issue posted anywhere else, but sorry if this is a repeat and I missed it.

I'm using a controller for KSP. I have both a Steam controller and an XBox 360 Controller; I use the Steam controller, but I checked and this is a problem for both. The Steam controller's left stick is mapped to a controller left stick. I can map pitch/yaw/roll arbitrarily to any joystick or controller axis I like for flight, but there doesn't seem to be a way to map a controller to movement on a Kerbal in EVA. In control mapping on the "Kerbals" tab, the character axis bindings have places for translation and roll/pitch/yaw, but none of those things really make sense here. I tried mapping to translate, but that didn't seem to do anything (as in, if I move a controller axis mapped to any character translate action, nothing happens).

For now, as a workaround, I can still use a/s/d/w for Kerbal EVA movement, but it would sure be more convenient to be able to use those same controller axes that are working great on rockets on Kerbals. Did I just miss the setting somewhere? Was one of the translate actions really the one I was looking for and this is just a bug?

Thanks in advance if anyone has suggestions!

Hi ZeroG, those bindings are for the Kerbal jetpack rather than for walking, it's a shame it isn't made clear in the options screen.

Ah OK, thanks, that helps. So there isn't a way to map a controller axis to Kerbal movement, like going up/down a ladder, or walking on the ground?
