Title: Control.conf per layout.xml
Post by: iGarikoitz on February 27, 2021, 03:56:58 PM

Can you program to use a controls.conf per layout to include a diferent control configuration when loading a inside layout.xml?

Creating a control.conf file next to its corresponding layout.xml they would be loaded together and would overwrite the previous control.conf file, in this way we could have a more precise control of the keys in all the frontend.

I'd like this too.

I'll give it some consideration.

Thanks. I just wanted to add that I'd like to map the scrolling of the mouse's wheel up and down.

The issue with that idea is that you would probably also like to use the speed of scrolling for the speed of the menu, which will be a lot harder to add to the current code base. I think SDL has mouse support, so base support might be possible; I'll have to see what codes SDL gives for the mouse exactly.

Aaah, gotcha. I guess if you can just throw in the keycode barebones, that may be enough. I think I can change the sensitivity of the scroll on the mouse I use with a program so I could take it from there in case of.
