⌨️Default key bindings

• **`Right Ctrl key`**: Switch story mode on and off.
• **`Alt + Right Ctrl key`**: Cycle through difficulty (sequence: Story → Easy → Normal → Hard → Story...).

⚙️ Custom buttons

You can easily change the key bindings to any combination you like:

• After installing and running the module once, exit the game.
• Open the folder: `%localappdata%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor`
• Use Notepad to edit the **`Input.ini`** file.
• Search for `StoryModeToggler` and you will find the relevant key mapping entries.
• Modify the highlighted part (such as `Key=RightControl`, `bAlt=True`, etc.) to the key you want.
• Save the file and restart the game to take effect.

⚠️ Known issues and solutions

• **During cutscenes and mini-games**: The game disables almost all user input, so you must switch to story mode before **the mini-game starts** and switch back after it ends. For the spell learning mini-game, you need to switch before the lesson actually begins.
• **Variable Reset**: When you switch to story mode, the module will remember your previous difficulty. However, this memory variable may be cleared if you perform certain actions that cause the game to reload the current level (such as playing a spell learning mini-game, fast traveling, apparating). Attempts to switch back to the original difficulty at this time may fail.
• **Solution**: Use **`Alt + Right Ctrl`** to manually cycle back to the difficulty you want.

🔗 Conflicts and troubleshooting

• **Key Conflict**: This module and the author's **Quick Save II** module both use the `right Ctrl key` by default. If installed at the same time, you will need to modify the keybindings of one of them.
• **File Conflict**: This mod uses **pakchunk 1016**. Once installed, you can run the author's **PakChunk Check …
