Introduction
I found that both the default and preset key bindings in Thief 1: The Dark Project / Gold are outdated by today's standards. I've decided to share the modern controls I've created and personally use. These updated bindings make the controls more intuitive for modern players.

Modern Controls updated to v1.01.

You need to move the SAVES to the game folder and load the controls from the customise controls.
