Really great stuff, having demos for the progressions was a very nice touch

I had some ideas/modifications, so I sketched up a version in autohotkey and really liked playing around with it for a bit:

-> Pressing in the joystick also switches to alt mode, instead of having a separate button. Works really well, just need to tune the timing/tolerances a bit. It felt way more intuitive.

-> Right bumper => space, Left Bumper => backspace

-> Right Trigger fully down => jumps cursor to start of next word (left trigger start of prev).

-> Right Trigger partially down => moves cursor that much to start of next word (eg. half way down, halfway through current word)

-> Holding a trigger down while using the other one selects the text. This one is a bit awkward to use, needing to "undo" the initial press and not really having a way to unselect if you selected too much. Will need more experimentation to see if it's a good idea.

This leaves the buttons available for new line, key swap (numbers, symbols, etc.), confirm/exit; And dpad for direct arrow key control.

Thanks for sharing!

This is great feedback.

I’ll look into the controller mapping tomorrow morning.

I resolved the controller mapping issue :)
Working on my end, thanks!
