Input Categories

Static lookup table defining input binding categories for the controls options UI. Each category has a display order, icon, and localization title.

Vehicle Switching

Provides custom vehicle cycling order for the switch-next/previous-vehicle input actions. Falls back to default engine behavior when no custom order is set.
