Description

The live video screen (aka GimbalVideo) allows the user to execute various gimbal movements using keyboard shortcuts. It would be nice if the user could execute these say actions using a joystick.

This enhancement request comes from [this blog post](https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/mission-planner-live-video-support/132920/6)

Research direction

Start with the GimbalVideo live video screen and document how its current keyboard shortcuts trigger gimbal movements. Define the joystick-button mappings and verify that each requested gimbal action can be performed through the joystick without removing the existing shortcuts.
