[Request] "Themeable" button inputs

Issue #3523 new
Alfredo Olvera created an issue

Hi team!

I would like to request a standard way of defining button inputs on BigBox. Right now a lot of themes display some button inputs on their themes, but this has created some big issues:

  • Since there's no "canonical" button mapping on BigBox, some custom themes just "guess" that the Y button on XB controllers (or the triangle button on PS Controllers) is mapped to the "Search" splash screen and they display this info on the screen, when on my custom configuration, that button it is mapped to change the theme's view or layout.

*I know there are lots of controllers out there, but I can imagine that if at least 4 layouts are selectable from the settings screen, it would cover at least 90% of the users. Those would be: XB, PS, Nintendo Pro Controller, and a generic one, with just the number of each button, hat switches or left stick layouts mapped.

*Implementing this would take out the guesswork from the custom themes community when developing their themes and showing the possible inputs on screen, vastly increasing the user-friendliness of the UI.

Hope you agree.

Cheers!
