Improved index controller bindings #1

Hello! I just finished testing this overlay and this tool improves QoL on Linux with SteamVR drastically, it's basically invaluable. Far easier to install/use than something like xrdesktop. I have index controllers, so i gave it a try and noticed that some thing could be improved. Like, instead of full clicking (which is an actual click with a button on index) you can pull it slightly and it will act like a click. Highly improves text writing speed and gives a nice non-interrupted rumble. This change can be potentially copied over to touch controllers too, so it will require less force to do so too. And i reduced grip/grab strength required to move window around because pressure sensor on index controllers is rather hard to grip and you certainly don't want to death grip them.

Have a nice day and further contributions!

Thanks. The oculus touch controllers have a much milder setup already. I primarily made the click action so it's easier to avoid accidental clicks, as VR games tend to have a lighter threshold. Just keeping the trigger near the click position avoids clicking in-game while allows you to use your keyboard / screen.

I'll make your binding the default and then have a separate folder for extra bindings, I think.
