Mods to recommend to a....disabled person.

Hello all. I've played SH 3 after desiring to try it out, following Youtube videos. I could get the hang of it, even though I can only effectively use 6 fingers, because there were multiple ways to access certain features. I didn't play SH 4 because I don't like to play as Americans against Japanese(brave underdog support syndrome?). But I do have SH 5 now. However, to a disabled person, the controls are not too friendly...

Especially troubling is the feature of moving around a submarine. Moving forward and backwards is very slow, only using the running commans helps. The controls are only modifiable by using the keymapper, but while setting the movement controls to the arrows, other things can get mixed up. Also, the interface is not the best.

Can people recommend me mods that change the interface and controls(or perhaps suggest control setups) that can enable me to use my entire right hand and 1 finger from the left hand to operate U-boats efffectively? I think the most important things to consider are: movement around the sub, and ease of deck/flak gun use. Controlling the path of the sub/plotting is not an issue with me.

Also, where is the mod that causes fires to damage ships? A YT Let's Play talked about it, but I can't find it. Suggestions to mods that solve known bugs are also appreciated. I have a SH 5 patched to 1.2 version.
