Allow Simultaneous Input Without Being Forced to Use Gamepad Mode

Simultaneous Input is when a game allows use of both mouse&keyboard and gamepad at the same time. Currently, it is only allowed in Gamepad UI mode, not PC UI mode. Allowing it in both would be a huge win for accessibility. I use a custom keypad peripheral with an analog stick because I find it easier to move my character with an analog stick but prefer using a mouse to aim.
Currently, the game won't recognize any sort of analog stick input unless the game is in Gamepad Mode or Automatic Gamepad mode. Automatic is out of the question because it rapidly swaps between PC and Gamepad UI, lagging your client.
Gamepad mode comes with its own issues.
- Addons are less compatible and can cause UI errors
- Movement is locked while in any sort of menu, map, or quickslot wheel
- Sprint functions differently; in Gamepad mode sprint is on a toggle and casting abilities will cause you to stop sprinting until you press sprint again
- The load screens take longer to fade out when loading into a zone
Please implement this change for accessibility and for those with custom peripherals/control setups. It's annoying to be locked into an inferior UI if I want to use analog movement.

I know this probably isn't a very high priority, but considering Simultaneous Input is possible while in Gamepad mode already, allowing it in PC UI mode would be a great quality of life and accessibility improvement.
