A request for the option to use old mobile controls

I’ve been playing Minecraft mobile for years, and I’ve gotten so used to the controls, that this update has felt essentially unplayable. I couldn’t hope to do anything remotely competitive, because everything is wonky now. In terms on the control “customization” I can’t even bring the already downgraded D-pad further down on the screen. Why? Because the D-pad is treated like a square rather than a plus; causing it to be blocked by the red no-zone. So now, with about 8 years of habits, I constantly find myself missing the buttons because I like to use the D-pad on the bottom left of the screen, not the middle left! “Downgraded, what do you mean by that?” I miss being able to press the jump button in flight. I miss being able to press it in water or on a ladder or in scaffolding. Just because it didn’t always do something, didn’t mean it was useless in these cases. It was good for when you wanted to anticipate a jump, and for enabling and disabling flight in creative. I’ve also noticed that, with the new D-pad, when I slide my finger from the forward movement button to the jump button in quick, repetitive, succession (to run-jump) sometimes the run cancels out. I just want to play again, but I, yes a minority, just can’t seriously get back into Minecraft. Please allow the old controls with all their options to become available. Maybe at the bottom on the controls menu with a switch for “classic mobile controls” which would enable those old options and disable the new ones.
