Parameter Examples
This is personalized input combination for Fullscreen in hotkey setting. The first parameter is for Guide (Big "X") button on Xbox 360 controller and the final parameters are for Alt + Enter key combination on keyboard. Both devices can trigger Fullscreen.
Guide | `DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse:RMENU` & `DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse:RETURN`
For some reason the first two parameters don't work.
`Shoulder L` & Guide | `DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse:RMENU` & `DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse:RETURN`
! NOT
Command will always active unless this input is triggered.
!`Pad W`
Command will active when Button X is pressed, but it won't be triggered when Pad W is also pressed.
!`Pad W` & `Button X`
The first two parameters will not work anymore.
!`Pad W` & `Button X` | !`Pad E` & `Button B`
However this will work alright.
`Button X` & !`Pad W` | `Button B` & !`Pad E`
