Path of Exile Controller Support needs some love, Please!!

Why aren't the Lt+Rt controller buttons able to bind skills?

So i recently grown particularly fond of the controller over mouse. it looks like the xbox support on poe2 is pretty good, but playing poe1 i have found you do not have as many bindable skill buttons as the keyboard and mouse and with all the different builds and abilities needed the controller falls short making difficult to play.

I noticed your interaction and basic attack button or A on the xbox controller take up on of the 12 bindable buttons in your build, where as the keyboard and mouse has 13 and desinated buttons for certain commands. this gives you lots of more options

I did notice the Lt+Rt button commands are not bindable and the full 8 are never used based on the events you do in game. I know this tab was added a while back based on some league mechanics.

Can we please get the ability to bind skill gems to the Lt+Rt buttons? this would be a great tab for buffs or Vaal gems.

doing some of the different game events like expedition and delve i've used 2-4 buttons tops. can we designate the Lt+Rt D-pad buttons for events like delve and customize their order?

the second issue i have noticed is the inventory screen being up when you are binding with the controller. You can hit the A button or B button to back out to another skill and it will interact with an item in your inventory, like a stack of portal scrolls and make the binding skill process frustrating.

In short i love the game and enjoy poe2 just as much and like many others are interested in controller support. especially those that play on consoles already. It would be great that GGG would look into fixing these to help players experience and builds with a wonderful quality of life fix.

i'll reiterate;

Can we please get the ability to bind skill gems to the Lt+Rt set of buttons? this would be a great tab for buffs or Vaal gems. Overall it will allow players to use pc builds that have those extra binded skills.

Please, Please look into this.
