Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

yes, minor issue

its hard for the user to place WASD keymap input over in-game joystick with good precision, often you're off by a few pixels and the joystick ends up looking janky when you press on it

Describe the solution you'd like
  • change the keyboard shortcut for upsize/downsize selected keymap element from cmd + up arrow and cmd + down arrow -> cmd + + and cmd + -
  • implement move selected element controls, movable in small increments (1px?) by cmd + directional arrow keys
Anything else?

nothing for now

Issue Language

Research direction

Start by locating the keymapping editor's handling of selected-element keyboard shortcuts and confirm how the current cmd+up/down resize actions are wired. Done means the resize shortcuts use cmd++ and cmd+-, while cmd+directional arrows move the selected element in small increments for precise joystick placement.
