Use

gptokeyb provides a kill switch for an application and mapping of gamepad buttons to keys and/or mouse. It also provides an xbox360-compatible controller mode.

Environment Variable

SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE must be set so the gamepad buttons are properly assigned within gptokeyb, e.g. SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE="./gamecontrollerdb.txt" SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE is automatically set in Emuelec

Command Line Options

xbox360 selects xbox360 joystick mode

-c <config_file_path_and_name.gptk> specifies button mapping for keyboard and mouse functions, e.g. -c "./app.gptk"

-c as the last of the command line options specifies that the default button mapping file should be used, which is /emuelec/configs/gptokeyb/default.gptk

-1 <application name> or

-k <application name> provides the name of the application that will be closed by pressing start and select together

-sudokill indicates that sudo kill -9 <application name> will be used to close the application instead of killall <application name>
