Mouse support?

[absolutelynothinghere]

Is it possible to add support for mouse movement? For example moving the mouse moves the virtual joystick by some amount.

Thank you for this tool 🙏

After 10 billion years, it is possible now.
I made a major update of the code, with some changes needed to made in the lua script.
See the updated example.lua.

This is great news, thank you!

Sadly now I get the error "ERROR: Failed opening virtual device." when trying to use wejoy... I'm using example.lua with changed device paths.

I think that it some type of permission problem on your system, or maybe the call to:
udev_device_new_from_subsystem_sysname(udev, "misc", "uinput");
is not compatible with your system. Have you tried check permissions for your user, and tried sudo?

Look at file suinput.c, line 98, somewhere there is the problem. I think I cannot go more lowlevel like this.

You were right, it was a permission issue. I ran the gpasswd and modprobe commands from the README and the program worked! Sorry for the inconvenience, I changed my distro since I submitted this issue so I'm kinda re-discovering wejoy from scratch...

Now I'm having trouble getting the mouse to work correctly. I'm trying to move the virtual joystick when the mouse moves, and reset the joystick position when the mouse stops moving. However the joystick keeps getting "stuck" in the right or left position.
Can you take a look at my lua script and help me? yes.lua

I'm using these for testing:

• Xbox Controller Tester (online)
• Gamepad Test (online)
• SDL2 joystick test (x86_64 Linux)
