Title: Multiple Inputs - Keyboard & Gamepad
Post by: progets on January 24, 2017, 10:20:13 AM

Only one set of inputs is very limiting.

I currently have two implementations of this that I need to compare, and merge with the code base. It's coming. 😀

How is it done?

Simply separate the key commands using a , (no whitespace), e.g.:
left = Left,joy0Button7
right = Right,joy0Button5

My patch for this borrowed a function from the config reader that would strip beginning and ending spaces from each element in the string without removing middle ones.  I'll try that out again later today.

I'm jumping on this thread since it's a similar request: I'd like a combination of inputs to do something. Particularly, it's such a small detail but it bothers me that this is the only program I have that I can't close with Alt+F4. I set it to exit to "F4", but I know for a fact that I don't need to press Alt+F4 to close it, just F4, so that bothers my OCD haha...

And also sometimes I pick up the mouse and instinctively rotate the wheel expecting it to do something, but then I remember there's no input called "WheelUp" / "WheelDown"... so that would be a nice addition I think.

Sorry to dig an old thread...but I want to see if there's any update to the last request, specifically allowing key combos.

I like the MAME way of configuring keys. There you could have OR and AND to specify key bindings, like ESC OR Q OR Joy_Left AND Joy_Button0 AND Joy_Button9, in that way if I'm on a cab without a keyboard, I could exit by using the Left + Button0 + Button9 combo which has little chance to be triggered by accident.
