Adding new buttons #163

Hi, how hard is it to add new buttons ? Freecam for example.

dantman commented 4 years ago

I never understood what the freecam buttons did in VR so I didn't add bindings for them.

When you activate the "camera suite", you can switch to "free cam" to freely fly around, look at ur ship etc. very cool in VR. Sadly i dont have any buttons left, so i had to bind the cam stuff to my cursor keys... When i activate the "menu" mode, i can activate the freecam, deactivate the "menu" mode and can use the normal joystick controls to control the camera. It would be excelllent if there were a simple way to add new buttons, for example:

  1. Add the button name within a config file, add the keybind or ED funtion
  2. Add the PNG graphic and link it to the new button

There are several things i would love to control within my vr cockpit: Discord muting, call custom programs to readout the inv the calculate the best buying station etc.

I agree it would be really cool to have button for all bindable actions in the game, even if it's stupid to have a button for those actions, so we don't have ton interact with some external input device when playing in VR (like keyboard).
