Wolf4SDL 2.2 NX for Nintendo Switch

This update brings major control refinements, GZDoom-style dual-analog movement, and fixes for weapon switching and turning.

What's Changed & Improvements

🎮 GZDoom-Style Dual-Analog Controls

• Analog Strafe on Left Stick: Left Stick X now provides smooth analog strafe left/right, fully decoupled from turning.
• Analog Forward/Backward: Left Stick Y handles forward and backward analog movement.
• Zero Drift / No Sticky Turning: The left stick never turns the player or imparts rotation.

🕹️ 2x Faster Right Stick Turning

• Doubled the turning speed on the Right Stick (2x multiplier) for responsive camera look.
• Expanded turn clamping limit to 200 * tics on Switch to prevent artificial speed capping.
• Smooth quadratic curve preserved for fine aiming near the center deadzone.

🐛 Fixed Stuck Rotation / Infinite Turn Bug

• Fixed a bug where menu navigation logic was setting Keyboard[sc_LeftArrow/RightArrow] during gameplay without a corresponding key release, which caused the player to spin continuously.
• All simulated arrow and menu key events are now strictly restricted to menus and pause screens.

🔫 Dedicated L & R Weapon Switching

• Fixed an issue where ZR (attack) was simultaneously switching weapons due to an SDL2 joystick button index collision (buttonjoy[9] == bt_nextweapon).
• Disabled legacy SDL2 joystick polling on Switch in favor of native libnx input handling.
• L: Swap to previous weapon (cycle left).
• R: Swap to next weapon (cycle right).
• Right Stick Click (R3): Cycle to next weapon.
• ZR & A: Strictly fire / attack without weapon-swap conflicts.
