📋 About This Mod
There's a new mod that does the same for next-gen at https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/7178
I like to walk by default, but the game's default setting is jogging & it resets back to jogging every time you load a save which annoys me :P
Updated for patch 1. 31
I've removed the changes for Controllers as I don't have one and can't test it. This only affects keyboards.
