I'd like to be able to set hotkeys for input devices (i.e. not just keyboard, but gaming controller and mouse). This would save me a lot of time and make writing some scripts a whole lot easier.

Thanks.

other than mouse button 4 & 5 and maybe the middle, wouldn't having other mouse buttons as hotkeys be glitching out when using CE? i.e. click anywhere and it toggles the code accidentally

on another note, since xinput is already added into the source, all that's left to do is updating the functions in hotkeyhandler.pas to accept a flag whether hotkey is a gamepad hotkey or keyboard/mouse hotkey and then to check for the keys accordingly. and then add the gamepad buttons to the hotkey form.

or a lua hotkey handler+GUI just for gamepad is possible too especially since mgr.inz already made the controllercombo extension which offers more functionality (i.e. sequential key combos) than if gamepad is integrated on top of the existing native hotkey handler (the latter probably could only allow a single button or combo to be set without a moderate redesign of the set hotkey form). i could probably make a GUI for mgr.inz's extension and add an entry just below the CE's Set Hotkey option but note the increased overhead of pass through the lua engine.

of course the best of both world would be to port or mimic mgr.inz's extension in pascal and redesign CE's hotkey form to accomodate the two different styles of setting hotkeys for gamepad and keyboard, but my skill level is not up to par, yet Rolling Eyes

TLDR; i'll do up a GUI for mgr.inz's controllercombo extension sooner but probably later Laughing

it's on a list of stuff to do. I most like assign fake virtual keycodes to them letting the hotkey handler know to use the xinput api to get those states

the setup gui needs to be adjusted a bit more though, as it doesn't work with keydown events that it uses now

(There is a theoretic way to make it get handled as a key, but may be win8 only, or slow)
