Jester UI Wheel - Please add keybinds for Rotary encoder


Recommended Posts

Posted

Guess this falls under some sort of wish or request. Would it be possible to implement keybinds to control the Jester UI wheel with a rotary encoder?

I have a few of them on my HOTAS base with push function (WinWing Orion 2 throttle) and it would be really nice if I could scroll left or right around the interface by rotating the knob and then select the highlighted "slice/option" with a push.

If you change jesters controls to 1-8 and then his menu button to another letter or number. Would it be possible to bind the controller to those? I did that with voice attack and it works so far pretty well. I haven't tried it with different buttons yet. Hoping this works for you.

It would be sufficient to add jester next option and jester previous option.

It would be another option, but that's not nearly as fast as dialing to the right position would be. I don't think the 2 options are equivalently as fast.

I'm not updating this anymore. It's safe to assume I have all the stuff, and the stuff for the stuff too. 🙂

That won't work.

And how are we supposed to do that?

Rotary encoder is out of the question with that method.

Using a POV hat? good luck hitting the exact button and option every time. A next/previous type option would work well not only for
those with Rotary encoders, but for those that have few buttons available aswell.

The exact way OP suggested, with one of the many rotary dials available on Winwing and other HOTAS'. Rotary encoder is perfectly straighforward with that method, it's the exact same way we dial up and down the lighting, set course headings, and a few other things.

A POV hat doesn't work, that's a bad idea for that implementation as well. Next/Previous is, as I already said, not as good. It might be better than nothing, but it's not as good as, or better than, OP's suggestion.
