Input Map

Definitions

1. A configuration that maps physical input events (key presses, mouse clicks, gamepad buttons) to logical actions in a game or application, decoupling hardware inputs from application behavior and enabling user-customizable controls.

   In plain English: A settings layer that connects what buttons you press to what actions happen in a game or app, making it easy to customize controls.

   Example: "The input map lets players rebind 'jump' from spacebar to any key they want."
