I have been trying to edit the commands that involve panel tracking to include joystick shortcuts that I use to navigate the panels. This will allow me to use my joystick when I really want to look around quickly and not have Orion lose where I'm looking. I'm running a T.Flight Hotas X, which doesn't have a lot of buttons, but with proper use of modifier buttons I have managed to create a setup where I literally don't have to move my hands to the keyboard or mouse unless I am navigating the galaxy map.
The problem that I am running into is that I use a modifier key for UI focus and the hat switch to look around. So the left panel command should be JOY8+Hat left. I set this up as a shortcut to the 'Left Panel' command in voice attack, but what ends up happening is that when the game recognizes the command is that I rapidly look at the panel and then back ahead. I check the command history and voice definitely recognizes the command and it only runs once. If, after this flick of my vision to the left and back ahead, I continue to hold JOY8, and release the hat, followed by the hat again, I end up looking at the left panel! But voice attack has performed two 'Left Panel' commands. Which isn't the behavior I was expecting and honestly I don't want to have to be flicking my view back and forth just to view the panels I want.
If under the joystick shortcut option that I set up, I check the box "shortcut is invoked when no other buttons are down", then I look around perfectly, but voice attack doesn't note the command.
If, under joystick shortcut I select "shortcut is invoked only when all buttons are released" then I look over as long as I hold JOY8. but then if I release it, I look back ahead. Voice attack does recognize this command but now I'm holding buttons I don't want to hold that are going to modify other JOY buttons.
Are there any solutions to this that you guys can think of? Do any of you manage to continue to look around with your stick after installing these voicepacks and manage to not mess up the panel tracking?
