More comprehensive button mapping for use outside of gaming (Chrome) #66
Description
Your program is awesome. In fact im typing this from a wireless 360 chatpad
right now.
This may have been answered already under a number of different contexts but i
was wondering if custom mappings that are in the works may include some level
of support for Chrome? This computer is hooked up to my TV so the xBox
controller with chatpad is a near flawless media center controller given that
it simply needs to control Chrome at some level of proficiency (which it does
in its current state for the most part).
Im interested in maybe the D pad being up down left right keys and maybe a
modifier key thatd allow for different shortcut executions like open/close tab
or zoom feature.
A good example of this is xbox2mouse (
https://github.com/adamjimenez/Xbox2Mouse ) which has amazing controls and
modifiers but sadly wont run concurrently with your software. Maybe if you dont
want to reinvent the wheel you could have a "bare bones chatpad" mode in which
your software only controls the chatpad while another program like xbox2mouse
handles the controller.. I understand the nuances involved in making that work
might be impossible but im just spitballing ideas at this point.
Just thought id do my part and add two cents suggestions from an end user
perspective. Not begging or nagging just suggesting.
PS I used runintraymod from here http://www.milesaheadsoftware.org/ to create a
shortcut that runs in my Startup folder that runs your software minimized to
tray at startup for extra seamless operation. I just boot up, turn on my
controller, and go! That is to say another suggestion might be a "start
minimized" option :)
Keep up the good work
