Control editing...finally

[joevenzon]

Do you mean, that we don't want to allow users to have separate deadzones on Axis1(+) and Axis1(-)?

No, I don't mean that -- I can imagine people could want different settings on gas and brake, for example.

Maybe the best way to solve this would be to add a toggle to copy the settings to ... adjacent controls (like if we're on steer left, copy the stuff to the steer right controls).

That's what I mean. I think that's a good solution if it's not too much trouble. That's the only control that I can think of that you would need to do that on, so it could be treated as a special case.

As for the real-time display of the input plus processing, rather than try to stuff all that in the Edit Controls menu, why don't we set up a separate menu called "Test Controls"

The reason I want it in the edit controls menu is because it's not immediately obvious how the different positions on the slider will influence your control. As an example: my joystick doesn't do a perfect job of centering the driving axis (it will bounce around a bit) and that causes problems, obviously, when driving. To fix this, I use the deadzone. Deadzone isn't a desirable thing, though, so I only want to add as much as needed. Having at least the processed control's output graphed on the edit controls screen is that way I can drag the deadzone slider to the right until I see the twitching go away.

Also, having the output on the edit controls screen gives you real time feedback on your other adjustments like exponent. It would suck to have to try a value, click around in the GUI for a while, try it out, click around in the GUI for a while, try another value, etc.
