Dark Souls II - Dynamic Key Prompts 1.0.0

First release of Dynamic Key Prompts for Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (Steam, version 1.0.3).

The game always shows Xbox buttons in its prompts, even with keyboard and mouse. This mod reads
your actual key bindings from the game and shows the matching key or mouse button in every prompt,
and updates immediately when you rebind a key.

Features

• Menus, the help bar, interaction prompts ("Rest at bonfire", "Examine"), tutorial messages, menu tabs
• Key and mouse icons in the game's style (themes: dark, minimal, silver) or text labels like [E]
• Context aware: Confirm / Cancel in menus, Interact / Roll in the world — each shows its own key
• Mouse buttons where you use them (attack, lock-on), keys elsewhere — configurable
• Custom icon themes: one editable sprite sheet per theme
• No game files are modified
