"Remove the Analog Output Axis when specifying an macro or key output"

Is this error message related to this PR? I don't know what to do there

ah, I had to switch to "Key or Macro" and clear the text input. Can we say that in the error message?

Now it shows a different error:

__root__ missing macro or key: the combination = <EventCombination (2, 1, -1)> specifies a key input, but no output macro or key is programmed (type=value_error)

"ctrl, alt and shift may not combine properly"

This needs a hint to the Advanced Input Configuration and the Release Input setting

[jonasBoss]

This shows up when the text field output_symbol is a empty string and not None

some ideas: https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/issues/530#issuecomment-1306044153

I would use the classes __name__ instead and remove everything but the first error, like:

"Expected parameter 2 for repeat to be one of [Macro], but got "dead_acute"
