HUD Toggle key isn't editable

Open TelmoAlexandre opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Noticed that unlike the Limit toggle key on Performance tab and Log toggle key on Extra tab, the HUD Toggle key doesn't allow free input of values. Instead it's a non-editable dropdown limiting the shortcut key to mostly the right shift.

Not sure if it's a limitation or deliberate, but if not, would it be possible to make it editable as well?

In my case, I have a 60% keyboard and the right shift is used as up arrow. I do understand my situation is very edge casy :sweat_smile:

Edit: Really good job on GOverlay btw, it's excellent!

Hi @TelmoAlexandre , actually this request have appeared in the past. The dropdown menu was my first thought because it was easier to implement (sorry, i was lazy...), but i'll try to add the option to manual edit the field or ask the user to press the keys they wish to use. Will add this as a request, thanks for reporting !

I'm having the same problem.

I also have a 60% ultra compact keyboard and it doesn't have a right shift key, only left shift.

Since the UI doesn't let me manually edit what key I want to use to toggle the overlay, I had to edit my .config/MangoHud/mangohud.conf file and manually change the toggle_hud value to Shift_L + F12.

It worked flawlessly. I'm able to use left shift + F12 to enable/disable the overlay. But the problem is that I have to manually edit the file every time I make any changes inside goverlay.

Letting us manually edit the field inside goverlay instead of having to choose from a dropdown menu would fix it for us users of compact keyboards 😅
