• When the throttle delta buttons (default Shift and Ctrl) are pressed, the throttle level axis is marked as inactive.
• While held, the throttle max and cutoff buttons (default Z/X) take priority over the throttle level axis.
• When the throttle max and cutoff buttons are released, the throttle level is set back to the axis level if it is active.

Configuration

The mod settings can be accessed in-game in the flight view through the app-bar or anywhere from the settings menu.

There also is a configuration file for advanced settings: Kerbal Space Program 2/BepInEx/config/inputbinder/inputbinder.cfg

Where are my bindings stored?

The bindings and processors are stored in the folder Kerbal Space Program 2/BepInEx/config/inputbinder/profiles inside .json files. Every file holds a set of bindings.
These files are referenced as "input profiles" by this mod's documentation.

Reset the configuration

To reset all bindings click the "Reset All" button in the app's title bar.

Slider settings

To change the range of the sliders inside the processor editing menus, open the file Kerbal Space Program 2/BepInEx/config/inputbinder/inputbinder.cfg inside a text editor.
Now change the values after SliderMin= and SliderMax= to suit your needs.
Then save the file and load/reload any input profile.

Adding more actions from the game to Inputbinder

It is possible to change the bindings for other game actions too.

• Create this file: Kerbal Space Program 2/BepInEx/config/inputbinder/game_actions_to_add.txt

• Follow this page to add what you want, it is also possible to specify how the InputAction should be set up.

• Save the file and load/reload any input profile

Make Inputbinder automatically add processors

Open Kerbal Space Program 2/BepInEx/config/inputbinder/inputbinder.cfg in a text editor
(if you didn't delete it yet there should be a default template commented out by the leading # for you to use and modify)

After the default config values add a section: [auto-add-processors]

After this section heading you can configure the automatic adding of processors in the following format:

When<controlA>MappedTo<controlB>="<processors>"

The <control1> <control2> and <processors> placeholders should be replaced by the following:

<controlA>: The newly bound control must match this control-type, one of: Axis, Button, Key, Vector2, Delta, Stick, Dpad, *, Any <controlB>: The binding's expected control-type to match, on of: Axis, Button, Key, Vector2, Delta, Stick, Dpad, *, Any

The control types * and Any match any control

<processors>: The processors to add as they are displayed on the main page of the mod's UI.
The enclosing quotation marks are required.

If you want to find out what the control types of bindings of controls are you can rebind them and open the game's log Kerbal Space Program 2/Ksp2.log and look out for:

Binding complete: <action name> <binding name> with path <bound path>; bound control of type <controlA> to binding of type <controlB>

Your finished configuration file should look something like this:

[main]
SliderMin=-2
SliderMax=2

[auto-add-processors]
WhenButtonMappedToAxis="Scale(factor=0.5)"
WhenAxisMappedToAxis="Scale(factor=0.25);Invert()"
