Input Syntax
This page explains how to properly assign multiple inputs and the control expression syntax in the input configuration dialogs.
Buttons
| Detect | Wait for input from the selected device, and highlight the corresponding input in the list. |
|---|---|
| Select | Copy the selected input name into the control expression field. |
| | OR | Copy the selected input name into the control expression field, with "|" prepended. |
| & AND | Copy the selected input name into the control expression field, with "&" prepended. |
| ! NOT | Copy the selected input name into the control expression field, with "!" prepended. |
| + ADD | Copy the selected input name into the control expression field, with "+" prepended. |
Parentheses
Using () parentheses can group input parameters together and thus can solve & AND troubles.
The first two parameters don't work.
`Pad W` & `Button X` | `Pad E` & `Button B` |
However using parentheses can solve this.
(`Pad W` & `Button X`) | (`Pad E` & `Button B`) |
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`
Using ! 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. #Parentheses can help.
!`Pad W` & `Button X` | !`Pad E` & `Button B` |
This will work too.
`Button X` & !`Pad W` | `Button B` & !`Pad E` |
