Commandline keyboard configuration

rotacak · 21 July 2019, 19:41

I would like to overwrite some configs that are loaded from a file. It works but when I want to change keyboard mapping in the commandline then it will change nothing.

In the config file is:

Code:

input.1.keyboard.0.button.29.LCONTROL=KEY_CTRL.0,JOY2_FIRE_BUTTON.0

And I want to change it in a commandline like this:

Code:

-cfgparam input.1.keyboard.0.button.29.LCONTROL=NULL,JOY2_FIRE_BUTTON.0

Should it work like this?

In theory it should work but it is possible input related config change is not getting enabled. I'll test later..

It didn't work, it chose wrong device type (for example some joystick button 29 which rarely exists) because it expected identifier line (name/friendlyname etc) before config lines.

Should be fixed now but I am not (yet) 100% sure it won't break something else
