Control web browser (chromium/firefox/kweb) with gamepad

Thank you a lot for your script and this repository!

I wonder if anybody can think of a way to control firefox or chromium with the gamepad? I use a xbox360 controller, but simply starting xboxdrv with the --mouse flag over ssh while running firefox unfortunately does not work and breaks the controller in emulationstation afterwards. I have to reboot to make the controller work again in emulationstation.

Any idea would be greatly appreciated!

I too am very thankful for the repository but would also absolutely love it if we could map a controller to a mouse, or keyboard even.

I could see this working with the d-pad mapped to the mouse and simple right click and left click mapped to buttons 1 and 2

Or maybe the controller mapped to a keyboard and using the TAB key a lot (not ideal but at least makes the controller usable for things like Netflix)

This is outside of the scope of the repo. It would probably be best to take this up on the forum.
