Ally home button

[fennectech]

ally has no steam / home button but one button thats not commonly used

allow us to map a button to the steam home button

@fennectech hello.

Ally has 4 buttons, 2 of them belong to built-in controlled and already handled by windows (view and menu). You can rebind them with any controller-related software (including steam or https://www.rewasd.com/ )

Command center / AC (rog) buttons are asus-proprietary and can be set via G-Helper under Extra settings

[fennectech]

I know they can. But they cannot be set to the home button / guide button / steam button in G-Helper. Thats what i mean

[seerge]

@fennectech i can't emulate controller buttons, as you literally need to write a driver for that. But you can set this buttons to emit some unpopular F-keys (for example F22 and F23) under Extra

And then use dedicated software (like REWASD i mentioned above) to emulate controller actions from F-key presses

Apperently steam detects input from Ctrl + 1 as guide button. Can i do a key combo?

[seerge]

@fennectech try to bind guide button to some other key combination :) you can't set g-helper to emit key combinations, only single keys

Alternatively you can try Autohotkey , there you can bind anything to anything :)

[fennectech]

may i make this a feature request for key combinations? and i will use ahk or smth until its implimented Less software running the better ive been using handheldcompanion for it but the issue is hidhide is broken on insider windows. So it results in duplicate inputs to steam and games but thank you

[seerge]

@fennectech this build should allow 1,2 or 3 key combos GHelper.zip

Just fill in 0x11 0x31 as command (0x11 is Control, 0x31 is 1)

Custom field now supports up to 3 keys from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes in a row (that will be emitted as simultaneous keypress)

[fennectech]

Holy moly! I didn’t even get a chance to set rewasd up! Leme get into the thing with TeamViewer

[fennectech]

it doesnt seem to be working the input is not being detected by steam i have verified that ctrl + 1 over teamviewer worked

[seerge]

@fennectech so it works in teamviewer but not in steam? then i can’t help

I tested key combinations and they do work (in windows and other apps), but steam could listen for real hardware input- therefore you can’t initiate it :)

[fennectech]

i mean i did inputs over teamviewer (machine has no keyboard) and steam picked them up

[seerge]

@fennectech i don’t really understand what do you mean, but if it works - thats good.

If it doesn’t - you can test different key combinations

[fennectech]

TeamViewer is a Remote Desktop app. I can use it to input Ctrl + 1 from another computer and steam responds to this. Do you know any tools i can use to debug this? (Something that shows scan codes in windows perhaps

[seerge]

@fennectech well, that's quite exotic way to emit a hotkey combo :)

What I meant try to set an easy to test hotkey combox (like Alt + F4) 0xA4 0x73. For me they work fine (i.e. close active window)

As I have mentioned I have no idea how Steam processes a hotkey, but current way of emitting them (via windows api) is the only way I can add and added.

This is the one reason I cant use g-helper. I need that xbox guide button function. Absolutely nothing stated above works with Steam. Its really weird. No key combinations. SHIFT+TAB or CTRL+1 just dont work like pressing them on a real keyboard does.
