can't cycle profiles when a profile has mappings that use buttons from the button combo to switch profiles
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I have four profiles setup in my ds4drv.conf, default, xpad, xpad-wireless and desktop. I have assigned a combo of R1+L1+RIGHT for cycling forward and R1+L1+LEFT for going back. If I cycle to my "desktop" profile, which has the keyboard and mouse mapped to the controller, I'm unable to change back to the other profiles. In my desktop profile I have BTN_EXTRA = R1, BTN_SIDE = L1 and BTN_LEFT = dpad_left. So maybe the driver is not picking up the combo to change profiles because of those mappings?
I'm not able to reproduce this here, could you paste your config file?
Here it is. Cycling gets stuck on desktop profile.

#Enable hidraw mode

The desktop profile is missing a binding option. But you're also doing the binding sections wrong.
When you define a binding section you give it a name, in this case "exec", but you only need to define this once and then point your profiles to it with "bindings = exec". It is also possible to define global bindings that work on all profiles by not defining a name. I suggest you change it to something like this:
# These bindings are global and work on all profiles
[bindings]
L1+R1+RIGHT = next-profile
L1+R1+LEFT = prev-profile
R1+L1+L3 = exec-background xdotool key XF86AudioLowerVolume
R1+L1+R3 = exec-background xdotool key XF86AudioRaiseVolume
R1+L1+PS = exec-background steam steam://open/bigpicture
# This is a binding profile, you can tell a profile to use them with with "bindings = exec"
[bindings:exec]
R1+L1+TRIANGLE = exec-background antimicro --tray
R1+L1+SQUARE = exec-background /home/neil/Games/Minecraft/magicOk, that makes sense now. I was assuming by putting -
bindings = exec
[bindings:exec]
under [controller:1] that those would be the default for all profiles. Changed it to what you've posted and its working now. Thanks
