SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_LINUX_DIGITAL_HATS - Man Page

A variable controlling whether joysticks on Linux will always treat 'hat' axis inputs (ABS_HAT0X — ABS_HAT3Y) as 8-way digital hats without checking whether they may be analog.

Synopsis

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_LINUX_DIGITAL_HATS "SDL_JOYSTICK_LINUX_DIGITAL_HATS"

Description

The variable can be set to the following values:

· "0": Only map hat axis inputs to digital hat outputs if the input axes appear to actually be digital. (default)

· "1": Always handle the input axes numbered ABS_HAT0X to ABS_HAT3Y as digital hats.

This hint should be set before a controller is opened.
