[BUG] SteamVR/OpenXR Suggested Bindings not working for ViveTracker Menu button (Naming mismatch)

[PascalOtto]

For Vive-Controllers there is a mismatch between the input-name in SteamVR and the OpenXR-Specification. The menu button is named "menu" in openXR-Specification, but is named "application_menu" in SteamVr. When I suggest XrActionSuggestedBinding(MyAction, FOpenXRPath("/user/hand/left/input/menu/click") it works fine and steamVRs binding will look like this

              {
               "inputs" : {
                  "click" : {
                     "output" : "/actions/ue/in/vive_left_menu_click"
                  }
               },
               "mode" : "button",
               "parameters" : {
                  "force_input" : "click"
               },
               "path" : "/user/hand/left/input/application_menu"
              },

so somehow SteamVr seems to reinterpret "menu" as "application_menu" and it is working correct

But when I do the same for vive trackers it will not be translated to the correct path (I am using the pogo pins) ( XrActionSuggestedBinding(MyAction, FOpenXRPath("/user/vive_tracker_htcx/role/chest/input/menu/click")):

            {
               "inputs" : {
                  "click" : {
                     "output" : "/actions/trackers/in/chest-menu"
                  }
               },
               "mode" : "button",
               "parameters" : {
                  "force_input" : "click"
               },
               "path" : "/user/chest/input/menu"
            },

The binding will not work for tracker, unless you change it manually to "application_menu".

I guess SteamVR developers fixed the problem caused by the naming mismatch for vive controllers by replacing menu with application_menu, but forgot to do it for Vive tracker!?

I need to get the bindings to work without manual adjustments.

This is not the only problem with Suggested Bindings in SteamVRs XR_HTCX_vive_tracker_interaction implementation (see Vive Dev Forum)
