Hemingwey's One Key Combat Jump

WHAT THIS MOD DOES AND WHY IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN GAMEPLAY:

This simple mod will allow Geralt to jump IN COMBAT with ONE, SINGLE, SOLITARY key press.  If you use a direction key at the same time, Geralt can jump over low fences and walls with ease, instead of being pinned down against a two-inch-tall tree root.

Being able to jump in combat with a single key press can DRAMATICALLY change (but not unbalance) the dynamics of combat from those of the vanilla game.  Geralt will no longer get stuck against low objects, and, instead, can actually make use of scenery objects as part of his combat strategy, especially when fighting large groups of enemies.  Now Geralt can put some distance between himself and a hoard of bandits or gain momentary respite from an enemy onslaught by hopping over a wall or up onto a ledge.

If you install Wasteland Ghost's excellent Combat Stance mod in conjunction with this mod, Geralt will also be able to climb slightly higher obstacles during combat under logically correct circumstances.  Be careful, though, as Geralt can sometimes (appropriately) get hacked to bits if enemies are too close (or using ranged attacks) while the climbing animation is playing!

KEYBINDING ADVICE:

You should not hesitate to change this mod's default keybind (in the included addtoinput.settings file or manually in your ... Documents/The Witcher 3/input.settings file).

I used the 'U' key as a default/example (for the download package, in the included addtoinput.settings file) because 'U' isn't bound to anything in the vanilla keyboard layout.

HOWEVER, in order for this mod to truly shine, you should to customize your keyboard (either manually and/or using the in-game menu Options > Keyboard Bindings).  I STRONGLY suggest that you bind vanilla combat ROLL to a different key than vanilla non-combat JUMP, then bind Combat Jump to the same key as non-combat JUMP:

For example: in your ... Documents/The Witcher 3/input.settings file (or using the in-game menu Options > Keyboard Bindings), if you bind ROLL to some key other than the (default binding) SPACE BAR and add the following in your ... Documents/The Witcher 3/input.settings file:

IK_Space=(Action=CombatJump)

IK_Space=(Action=CombatJump)

then Geralt should be able to both non-combat JUMP and Combat Jump with the SPACE BAR (and combat ROLL using whatever separate key you chose to bind to ROLL).

As a further example, I don't bind anything to the SPACE BAR because I am left-handed.  Therefore, in my game I bind most movement and non-attack functions to my number pad keys.  I have vanilla JUMP and Combat Jump bound to my INSERT key, while ROLL is bound to the NumPad7 key.)
