Index Trackpad Click counts as thumbstick click #2
Comments
Agreed w/ openxr. openvr is deprecated and the input event filtering is super hacky. Switching libraries is def the move. FWIW, I personally use the a/b button inputs. This might be a painful but acceptable short-term workaround. Thanks for the report! I'll try to get to this asap. |
i did try switching over to using a/b for a while but for some reason griping and pulling my hand back activated it at times, although i think that might be an issue with my SteamVR config |
pyopenvr is deprecated and is causing a user issue (#2). That user was kind enough to experiment with different configs and didn't find a simple fix. So let's close this tech debt issue the right way.
Spent ~3 hours on this so far. Hitting pause for now. Notes to self:

I have a functional prototype done. Working out the bugs and play-testing today. Unless something surprising comes up, it will be in the next release. |
Well, something surprising came up. It seems that two things hold:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/8/3783625016029084617/ So, I think openXR is out of the question. |
The corollary here is that you can't run an openxr app alongside any other app. The openxr app will kill anything running before it, and anything launched after it will kill the openxr app. After going over the docs for a couple hours and implementing this a couple different ways, there is simply no way to do it. So I'll focus on openvr and see if there's a better way to sample joystick clicks. |
hmmmm interesting i wonder how other overlay apps like OpenVR Advanced Settings or XSOverlay are able to run alongside other applications. |
When using Valve Index Controllers clicking down at the top of the trackpad will start transcription when the start action is set as the thumbtack click in settings.
After snooping around the source code i believe this is because unfortunately like thumbstick actions trackpad actions also fire the same event, unlike with thumbsticks the currently implemented deadzone check will not reliably filter out inputs for trackpads.
Before opening this issue i did try a few things to attempt to fix it so i could open a PR but nothing i could think of worked, it may be worth removing
openvr
in favor ofopenxr
(pyopenxr
) as it has separate events for these actions.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
