Package: prboom
Version: 2:2.5.0+dfsg1-5
Severity: minor

Once the joystick is enabled, in the keyboard setup one can select the
joystick buttons up to button 4 for actions. In fact, most modern
joystick/gamepads have far more than 4 (e.g. mine has 12), but these sdl
events are just ignored.  Please correct this and allow also joystick
events above button 4 to be assignable to game controls.  In particular the
left and right strife should be assignable to the joystick, not just the
keyboard.  The simple "strife modifier of left/right turn" is much less
practical.  More generally, I think that the user should be allowed to
map any keyboard event of her/his liking to a gamepad button.

Otherwise the joystick is supported beautifully&smoothly, thanx!

All the best,
Nick
