Modeshifts

Almost all settings described in previous sections that are assignations (i.e.: uses an equal sign '=') can be chorded like a regular button mapping. This is called a modeshift because you are reconfiguring the controller when specific buttons are pressed. The only exceptions are those listed here below.

AUTOLOAD
JSM_DIRECTORY
SIM_PRESS_WINDOW
TICK_TIME
GRID_SIZE
HIDE_MINIMIZED
VIRTUAL_CONTROLLER

Here's some usage examples: in DOOM (2016), you can use the right stick when you bring up a weapon wheel even when using flick stick:

RIGHT_STICK_MODE = FLICK # Use flick stick
GYRO_OFF = R3 # Use gyro, disable with stick click

R = Q # Last weapon / Bring up weapon wheel

R,GYRO_ON = NONE\ # Disable gyro when R is down
R,RIGHT_STICK_MODE = MOUSE_AREA # Select wheel item with stick

Other ideas include changing the gyro sensitivity when aiming down sights, or only when fully pulling the trigger.

GYRO_SENS = 1 0.8 # Lower vertical sensitivity

ZL_MODE = NO_SKIP # Use full pull
ZL = RMOUSE # ADS
ZLF = NONE # No binding on full pull

ZLF,GYRO_SENS = 0.5 0.4 # Half sensitivity on full pull

These commands function exactly like chorded press bindings, whereas if multiple chords are active the latest has priority. Also the chord is active whenever the button is down regardless of whether a binding is active or not. It is also worth noting that a special case is handled on stick mode changes where upon returning to the normal mode by releasing the chord button, the stick input will be ignored until it returns to the center. In the DOOM example above, this prevents an undesirable flick upon releasing the chord.

To remove an existing modeshift you have to assign NONE to the chord. There is special handling for the gyro button because NONE is a valid assignment. Add a backslash to indicate it is the button assignment rather than clearing the modeshift

GYRO_OFF = RIGHT_STICK   # Gyro off when using right stick
ZLF,GYRO_OFF = NONE\     # RS does not turn gyro off when ZLF is pressed
ZLF,GYRO_OFF = NONE      # oops undo
