Assign a Key and Action using Key-Learn + Action-Learn
The fastest and most likely the easiest is using the Key-Learn in combination with the Action-
Learn skin selection options.
1. Select your controller from the devices drop-
down
2. Click the Plus button at the bottom to Add a
new entry (Key-Learn is on by default)
3. Press or Move the appropriate item on the
controller. You should see a key descriptor
show in the Key drop-down list that
represents the key you just touched/moved.
4. Click on the Action-Learn button and the
mapper dialog will disappear exposing the
skin for selecting the appropriate action to
assign.
5. Click on the skin element whose action you
now want to assign to the device‘s key. (If an
action is on a subpanel of the skin, then you
must have that panel showing before you start this process.)
6. The mapper dialog will appear and have the selected skin elements action in the Action
box.
Now you can manually modify the action by adding additional parameters and actions. If you
don‘t want to modify the selected action and want to assign more of your controller‘s keys to
finish the mapping, just repeat steps 2 thru 6 above until you have completely mapped your
controller.
Assign a Key and Action manually
After clicking the Plus button to add a new entry, select the down arrow of the Key drop-down
and select from the list of Key names that you want to assign. You can also still use the Key-
Learn to select your key from the controller as well.
After the key is identified, start typing the action you want performed in the Action box. Actions
are composed of a verb word with parameters that follow and influences how the action
performs. Underneath the Action box, is a description box that explains what the action does
and what parameters can be assigned.
If you are unsure of the action names, in the ‗See also‘ box is a list of the actions that can be
applied to a key. This list will reduce in the number of entries as you type in the action box to
show you the actions that most resemble what you are typing.
