total-controller's Issues

Add support for other controllers

I only have a few controllers myself, but theoretically, if I know the mappings, I should be able to create a profile for any controller I want. There are a few I explicitly want to support and test before releasing a beta version:

• Xbox 360
• Xbox Wireless (Xbox One+)
• Dualshock 3
• Dualshock 4
• Dualsense
• Gamecube

Add menu to show input values

Currently, there is no way to see input values for a controller, making creating custom profiles for non-supported controllers very impractical. There should be a menu that displays all of this information.

Add method of remapping inputs to pre-existing profile

If someone were to use a pre-existing profile, but their controller doesn't quite match the mappings in the profile, currently, the only option would be to copy the profile and edit the JSON file. This is clunky and not user-friendly at all. There should be a menu to remap buttons for a pre-existing profile.
