[Feature Request] Continuous axis binding to system functions (e.g. volume)

[hifihedgehog]

Description

Allow mapping a physical controller axis to a system function continuously, not just discrete button presses. For example, syncing a throttle slider position directly to the system volume level.

Current Behavior

The macro system supports media key presses (VolumeUp, VolumeDown, MediaPlayPause, etc.) via button bindings, but there is no way to continuously sync an axis value to a system function.

Requested Behavior

• Map an axis (e.g. throttle slider) to a system function (e.g. system volume, app-specific volume)
• The system function tracks the axis position in real-time, not just increment/decrement
• Useful in the default profile when controllers aren't being used for gaming

Origin

Requested by @ThreeDeeJay in #1. They built a standalone app for this specific use case.

Hey @ThreeDeeJay — this is now implemented! 🎉

The latest nightly build includes a new System Volume macro action type. Here's how to use it:

1. Grab the latest nightly build
2. Go to the Pad page → Macros tab
3. Map any axis (e.g. your throttle slider) to the System Volume action
4. The system volume will now continuously track your axis position in real-time — including the Windows volume flyout OSD so you get visual feedback

This should replace the need for your standalone JoystickAppVolumeControl app for this use case.

Give it a try and let us know how it works for you!
