Description

Gamepad users (I take the 360 pad as an examble, since it is quite widespread) may experienced this:
When you map the IR to the right thumbstick, you get the IR the middle of the screen

see this thread for example:
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-ma...lem--25272

There are some workarounds, like the one described by Axxer in the thread:
to map the hide funktion as follows:
"NOT <right joystick up> AND NOT <right joystick left> AND
NOT <right joystick right> AND NOT <right joystick down>.
That way, unless you specifically move the cursor, it won't be visible
in screen"

This works fine on the first sight, but when you move the stick from left to right, then the IR diappears for a moment - since in the transition from left to right there is state where it is not left and not right (hope you geht the logic here)

My solution to this was to map hide to "NOT RB" on the pad - this way you have to press rb to "activate" the IR, do some pointing stuff, and then let go of RB, which lets the IR diappear again.
But this wastes one button, and is kind of awkward to use.

Would it be possible to introduce a feature to dolphin like "hide IR after x seconds of inactivity" ?
Or if this is too complicated, atleast a "toggle hide" function - so you can activate IR when needed with a button press, to the pointing, and deactivate it with another button press - hence this will be more convinients than stay on a button for activation

This would realy help out the gamepad users

A toggle function should be pretty easy. Shame Jasper isn't around anymore...

For Galaxy, I set it so whenever i am moving the Nunchuck stick, the IR disappears. That way it comes back when mario isnt moving. It seems ok to me, but i havent played the game properly because I have an unrelated 'shake wii remote' problem.

Sometimes it is needed to point and move at the same time
I got used to the "hold button & point" config in the meantime - it's maybe not the best way, but works good anought to finish the game

A toggle is now possible by using the toggle function in an input expression for the "hide" mapping.
