Really great stuff, having demos for the progressions was a very nice touch

I had some ideas/modifications, so I sketched up a version in autohotkey and really liked playing around with it for a bit:

-> Pressing in the joystick also switches to alt mode, instead of having a separate button. Works really well, just need to tune the timing/tolerances a bit. It felt way more intuitive.

-> Right bumper => space, Left Bumper => backspace

-> Right Trigger fully down => jumps cursor to start of next word (left trigger start of prev).

-> Right Trigger partially down => moves cursor that much to start of next word (eg. half way down, halfway through current word)

-> Holding a trigger down while using the other one selects the text. This one is a bit awkward to use, needing to "undo" the initial press and not really having a way to unselect if you selected too much. Will need more experimentation to see if it's a good idea.

This leaves the buttons available for new line, key swap (numbers, symbols, etc.), confirm/exit; And dpad for direct arrow key control.

Thanks for sharing!

Bug Report: I could not get the Gamepad Mapping Settings to work. No changes registered, no errors in dev console. Win10 chrome.



This is great feedback.

I’ll look into the controller mapping tomorrow morning.


I resolved the controller mapping issue :)


Working on my end, thanks!
