[Feature Request] Use controller combo to freeze/unfreeze apps

Open Metanol183 opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

Hi,

Is it possible to add support for mapping a controller button combination to freeze/unfreeze apps in Windows?

Thanks!

This would be a neat feature built-into Nyrna.

just an FYI if you weren't aware thoguh, this can be easily done with game controller mapping apps like ReWASD. I use it all the time and have a combo set for putting games to sleep w/ Nyrna (among a bunch of other mappings to make navigating Windows a breeze on a controller). ReWASD is not free, but there may be some others that can do it free too (Joy2Key, Xpadder)

This is exactly what I am doing. However, some games like FC24 flags these controller mapping applications as cheat. Meaning I can only play these games if I uninstall rewasd.

They may flag such a feature from Nyrna in the same way, on Windows.

On Linux I've been using Input Remapper to create a button combo that triggers Nyrna, which works pretty good until I have the time to add such a feature natively.
