Adding more button shortcuts for controller

I really enjoy using controller on PC, they did a great job with how it works. It would be exceptional to add some more shortcuts to this

Specifically the Y (xbox) / Triangle (PS5) / X (Switch). This does not seem to be used at all when it should be.

Examples

When shopping on items - use this to max purchase (similar to Shift click)
TP max purchase to 20 in your book
ID Scroll max purchase to 20 in your book
Key Max Purchase 12
Potion max purchase

When looking at items in your inventory
To ID item (use from your book) - so much faster than click+hold on book, then go to item to ID
To put a potion into your belt from inv (shift+click)
To put an item into your cube (without opening the cube?)

Choosing skills / attributes
Use this Y (xbox) button to choose 5 skills/attributes? Fine with either. Char respec with 300+ attribute points is terrible.

Thoughts on the timed button press
Holding X (xbox) to move an item is just slow and time consuming when moving a lot of items. Maybe it can be changed to click only for moving? And remain timer for selling an item?

Other controller issue -
Using an item with charges that is on switch (lifetap wand on a melee char) is broken when you hotkey it. If you leave the game it loses the hotkey because it is charges and not a permanent item.

Very much open to thoughts and ideas in case I missed anything or something makes more sense. Adding these controller shortcuts and smoothing it out would be NEXT LEVEL!!!

EDIT: I forgot that Y is used for comparing, but I do not use this often nor would people use it as often in general because most people already know BIS items for their build. Maybe all compares can be moved to clicking in a thumbstick or anything else.

i use the Y button on my xbox controller all the time. you can set any of your skills to it.

the controller configuration uses ABXY, or on playstation all four of the symbols, plus right bumper, plus right trigger, and left trigger is the modifier, so you can use all six buttons for two different skills, for a total of 12 “hotkeys” for abilities.

if you aren’t able to do that, there’s a setting wrong somewhere

This post is related to menus usage and not skills.
