Architect game input — action mapping (abstracting keys into named actions), rebinding with conflict detection and persistence, multi-device support (keyboard, gamepad, touch), analog deadzones, and feel features like input buffering and coyote time, plus accessibility. Engine-neutral. Use when the user mentions input mapping, rebind controls, gamepad support, deadzone, input buffering, coyote time, or accessible controls. Never wire gameplay to raw keys.
