I tried to create a German layout for the whole Keyboard but I give up. It shows always other keys than it should and I don't know why. Anyone have a german keyboard layout?

For some reason I don't get any notifications for this thread, so if anyone was wondering why I didn't respond to anything that's why.
Any idea on if you'll make a macOS version down the line?
No, I have supported macOS for some of my other plugins and it's a nightmare. If anyone wants to work on macOS support I'd gladly merge it, but I will save my time and sanity.

The arrow keys preset is only for input history.
I am not sure how to edit posts.. sooo... excuses..

Anyway I messed around with it some more. And ran into some issues with it in OBS itself.
Everything works fine in io-cct.exe.
I had OBS 24.X installed, when I dropped the plug in in there OS stopped launching. Was kinda expectin this so no problems on that.
Downloaded latest version, installed plugins.
The InputOverlay works only partially, specifially only the DPad.
Even that does not work correctly. The DPad directions trigger other buttons.

I have uploaded a video, using OBS2 24.X and version 4.8 of Input Mapper, Recording OBS 26.x and v5 of Input Mapper.
(you can see the 4.8 version of the input overlay on the lower left of the screen.)

As I said on github I haven't tested gamepad input on windows yet. Although this seems to be an issue with the bindings. I made the bindings based on my xbox gamepad, so those not matching makes sense if you don't use an xbox gamepad. Once I finish the binding gui, you can rebind them in the input overlay configuration dialog.

I've seen a couple you'll have to search through this thread to find them though.

I was able to get 4.8 up and running no problems but it seems 5.0 is a bit different are there no longer .ini files and only json? if so how are we supposed to import it into obs like before?

5.0 changes the config system. The config files are now created via a separate tool that lets you arrange the elements graphically and then output the corresponding config file for that.

Ah i thought so when i Hit ok is it supposed to generate the .ini? If so that seems to be where the hangup is nothing happens when i press it. Ill try to mess around with it.

Press ok where? There's a save button or you can press ctrl+s in io-cct.

in io-cct theres an "ok" option it says succesfully wrote "x" amount of elements whenever I save the config. Is that saving to the .json file or should that output a .ini file?

It'll save to the json file you specified in the beginning.

Ah mint thank you for the help for some reason i think there were remnants of the 4.8 install left over as it was still looking for a .ini when importing it into obs but a clean install now shows its looking for a .json and everything is working as should. appreciate the help

Hi. Thanks for the plug-in. I'm interested in showing just the text of the input keys on-screen so not an image that highlights the keys I'm pressing but just the text that says things like 'Ctrl-Alt-S' or 'Arrow Key Up' or something like that. The plugin must be receiving this information but is it possible to output that data too?

Thanks!

Change the texture color.

The input history source is the closes to that.

Can't get the preset \submitted\minimal-history to work. Tried both the Dark and the Light theme, nothing is showing. I think it may be the .ini file that is not working correctly. Any ideas?

any way to use this tool for showing "record status" on the screen ?
for example make the overlay for one key only , lets say a "F12" or something when pushing it the key display will change to red color and stay red until you push it again or maybe until you push "F11" (or some specific key) ?
this way i could make "hotkeys" for start & stop recording ?
any ideas ?
thanks

I got a request for an overlay. I would like just a standard A and S + Up and Right arrow overlay. Can you do that?

(Edit. This is just for a game for Friday Night Funkin. So if you caaaan [If you can] Try to make the art style similar to that game?)
