map joystick events to mouse/key events

Recently, I got a DevTerm and enjoy is specially written for this device to map joystick events to mouse click/scroll/motion or key events, or use joystick buttons to launch applications. It should work with other joysticks but not tested.

DevTerm

Build

enjoy almost have no dependencies but use libx11 and libxtst to simulate mouse/key events:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxtst-dev
make
./enjoy

Features

enjoy support:

  • simulate key use 'X KeySym'. it support single key or combined keys with + delimiter, for example : Super_L+Shift_L+q.

    • Standard KeySym names are obtained from X11/keysymdef.h by removing the XK_ prefix from each name.

  • simulate key sequence, use keyseq prefix and continue with 'X KeySym', for example : keyseq Control_L+g c.

  • simulate mouse button, use mouse_button prefix, continue with a 'button number'.

    • 1 = left button, 2 = middle button, 3 = right button, 4 = scroll up, 5 = scroll down.

  • launch application, with exec prefix, for example : exec st -D.

  • simulate mouse motion, by set axis_as_mouse to 1.

Usage

-D : to enable debug mode to help you find with joystick "key" should be mapped.

-n : to ignore default configuration.

-c <config file name> : to load another config file instead of ~/.config/enjoyrc, useful for launching multiple instances to support multiple joystick devices.

-h : to show help message.

For more than one joysticks:

You may need to create multiple config files under ~/.config and launch multiple enjoy instance.

Default configuration

Since I am a heavy user of i3wm, the default configuration for DevTerm set to:

# joystick device
device=/dev/input/js0
# button x of DevTerm
button_0=Super_L
# button a of DevTerm
button_1=mouse_button 3
# button b of DevTerm
button_2=mouse_button 1
# button y of DevTerm
button_3=Control_L
# button select of DevTerm
button_8=Super_L+End
# button start of DevTerm
button_9=Super_L+d
# set it to 0 to use axis to simulate key/mouse event.
axis0_as_mouse=1
axis0_button0_up=Up
axis0_bttton0_down=Down
axis0_button1_left=Left
axis0_button1_right=Right

You can create your own config file such as ~/.config/enjoyrc or ~/.config/<your config file>.

And, enjoy.

TODO

  • Support verbose mode to found which joystick event generated and not bound.

  • Support multiple axis on one joystick, maybe with axis[n]_button[n]_up/down/left/right keys.

  • Support multiple joysticks by multiple config files, can launch multiple instances.

Issues
  • style and compilation fixes for src/uinput.c

    style and compilation fixes for src/uinput.c

    • drop trailing whitespace
    • consistently use 4 spaces for indent (replace some instances where 3 spaces were used instead)
    • set timestamp of struct input_event in a portable fashion to fix the following compilation error on (some) 32 bit systems:
    uinput.c: In function 'emit':
uinput.c:25:20: error: 'struct input_event' has no member named 'time'
   25 |    gettimeofday(&ie.time, NULL);
      |                    ^

  • Configs by Device Name/Id

    Configs by Device Name/Id

    Would it be possible to use configs by the lsusb device name or id?

    If I'm disconnecting controller 1 (js0) and connect the second one, it becomes js0 too and it uses the config of the previous controller. Also if I want to use both controllers, I have to plug them in in the same order as I've defined the config files :)

  • Switch blocks/repeats HID Input

    Switch blocks/repeats HID Input

    What a nice project. I just wanted to test controlling i3wm with my current FlightSim Arduino project and stumbled upon this :)

    I am using toggle switches, keeping the input button always pressed down. That seems to block the interaction with my laptop or at least repeated keypresses all the time111111111111111111111111111111111111 <- This is a result of it :D

    sudo enjoy -D -c /etc/enjoy/js0
...
Key: 'button_6', State: 'pressed'
Key 'button_6' map to 'super_l+1'
Uinput: super_l, Super_L, 125, 1
Uinput: 1, 1, 2, 1
Key: 'button_7', State: 'released'
Key 'button_7' map to 'super_l+2'
Uinput: super_l, Super_L, 125, 0
Uinput: 2, 2, 3, 0
1111111111111111111111111111111^C%

    The cmd is super_l+1 and the 1 gets repeated. I am thinking of changing my firmware to one-time presses anyways, just wanted to let you know :) Maybe a global option to "trigger once" could be a solution (excluding the axis)
