Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, you can hold a button to disable the gyro. This is nice, and inverted mode is great.
However, I have to pause the game to set the controller down.
It would be nice to have access to both pause and toggle.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a checkbox: 'Pause Gyro On Gyro Button Double-Tap'.
Double Tapping the button disables the gyro. Tapping the gyro button again re-enables gyro, preferably on release of the button you can still have it paused whilst holding it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, take notes from Jibb Smart's JoyShockMapper and make buttons for 'Gyro On' and 'Gyro Off', as well as 'Gyro Toggle'.
The equivalent in JSM is:
E = GYRO_OFF
E , E = ^GYRO_OFF
This pauses gyro controls when the button is tapped and held, toggles it double-tapped and re-enabled when released.
Something like this but natively would be awesome.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing gyro-button hold-to-disable behavior and the settings that control it. Trace how button taps, holds, and releases are handled, then compare the desired pause, double-tap toggle, and release behavior with the JoyShockMapper example in the issue. Done means the requested checkbox and interaction work without removing the existing hold behavior.
