Gladiator Evo, one button, two actions, one of them keypress

[bozho]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the POV button on my Gladiator to perform two actions: one should be a button click and the other one a keypress.

The POV button is currently set up to switch to analog on a long press (uStick Switch, Tempo B). Regular press is mapped to joy button #45. I've tried the "use 2 buttons" option and selected button #50 as the second button. I've set the #50 button to "A" keypress both on the "Physical layer" and "Logical layer" tabs. On the Test tab, I can see both buttons activate when pressing the POV button, but the "A" keypress doesn't seem to be generated. If I set up the POV button directly as a "Keyboard" to produce the "A" keypress, I can see "A"s in Notepad.

Am I doing this wrong or is this not feasible?

Thank you!

Do you want both actions simultaneously? Or two different actions?

Doesn't really matter. My use case is that I'm using my L POV button to toggle headlook in Elite (bound to Joy 45). When I'm using OpenTrack, the toggle in the game is disabled, so I need to be able to toggle OpenTrack tracking if I want to turn off headlook, and for that I have a global hotkey (CTRL+F11).

I'd like the POV button to do both actions, so that I can toggle both types of headlook without having to do switching or rebinding

Try to pull buttons to physical level using Booleans. Ctrl+F12 in my example - because F11 makes print screen)

I've tried your steps, but they resulted in button #45 being registered as always pressed.

I managed to solve this by using macros: set #1 is a button #45 and a CTRL+F11. Works like a charm
