Any plans to add HID Output to Device Monitor?

Title pretty much says it all. Would be good to have some way of monitoring HID output for keyboard and mouse in the Device Monitor.

This is already possible using a script.

example.

Code: Select all

#include <keyboard.gph>
#include <mouse.gph>
 
main {
 
set_val(0, key_status(KEY_A));
set_val(1, key_status(KEY_B));
set_val(2, key_status(KEY_C));
set_val(3, key_status(KEY_D));
set_val(4, key_status(KEY_E));
 
.
.
.
 
set_val(5, mouse_status(MOUSE_X));
set_val(6, mouse_status(MOUSE_Y));
set_val(7, mouse_status(MBUTTON_1));
set_val(8, mouse_status(MBUTTON_2));
 
.
.
.
 
}

your script effectively maps keyboard and mouse to gamepad outputs which can be helpful for some uses, but in general it would be much better to be able to monitor both input and output as keyboard and mouse without mapping anything. The same way be now monitor input and output for gamepads on the device monitor it would be good if we could monitor keyboard input and mouse input and if HID output protocol is set then also keyboard and mouse outputs.

This implementation is not currently planned. The workaround, if needed monitor some keyboard or mouse input, is map to a GPC Designator with a Input Translator, or using a script as suggested by DontAtMe, or, also using script, pritnf() to output panel the key press/release events.

Thanks J2Kbr.
