Allow to assign hotkeys to Joystick buttons
Allow to assign hotkeys to Joystick buttons
It would be great to be able to assign TrackIr hotkeys (enable/disable, center) directly to joystick buttons.

tagada,
You can do this already.
You will need to map the keys through the software that came with your joystick, I have done this with both the Sidewinder Stick and the Steering Wheel.

Re: Allow to assign hotkeys to Joystick buttons
Thank you Wayne for your to the point reply to my poorly formulated request. I realise from your answer that what I wrote does not reflect (completely) what I meant...
By "directly" assigning the hotkeys to the controller it was meant: without relying on the profiler/manager which came with the controller.
Indeed, to assign the 5 odd TrackIr specific buttons using the controller specific software, I now would have to reprogram completely all the assignements in my software/sims (4 sims: DS2002, FS2004, IL-2, X-Plane) AND profiles (3 controllers: Wingman Extreme, CH Yoke, X-45). This results in 12 times the work as opposed to the possibility of doing it once for good within the TrackIr software.
I hope I could convince you!

tagada,
Sorry that I kept you waiting I wanted to have a quick word about this.
Okay this is where we are...
This is something that we are looking at, but it is something that will not happen over night, and is a little down the road.
This has huge benifits and we do hear what you guys have to say, this is not the first time that this has been asked for.
