Description
Some of the midi keyboards don't have proper toggling buttons. Buttons send value 0 when pressed, and 127 when released. Using such key for controlling for example stacking is unusable, state changes back when key is released.
I suggest adding selectable option 'Convert to toggle' on 'Connect to controller' dialog.
I have proof of concept code done, and I'm willing to contribute that as soon as I have it implemented properly.
Suggestions for label text to dialog are welcome.

Research direction
Start with the MIDI handling for the “Connect to controller” dialog and review the reporter’s proof-of-concept code. Implement a selectable “Convert to toggle” option so buttons sending 0 on press and 127 on release can control on-off states without reverting on release, then verify the dialog wording and behavior.
