So far, it's only a consideration. No final decision has been made.

Being able to use the gamepad in the editor was the initial use case that motivated the feature. It's also one where I don't think offloading it to IMGUI/UIElements events will necessarily work as well. For any pointer type or keyboard type input (essentially anything that *has* to deal in focus) I think going to the current input system edit mode support really is a bad idea. For gamepads and XR devices, not as clear cut. We'll have to see.

The ongoing extension of UI event input for pens also covers UI Elements, not just IMGUI. Though I'd consider having pressure and tilt information even at the old UnityEngine.Event level available is better than what you get ATM with the input system.

Not directly. One thing you can do is have a playerIndex parameter on your processor.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ToPointerPosition : InputProcessor<Vector2>
2. {
3.     public int playerIndex;
4.  
5.     public override Vector2 Process(Vector2 value, InputControl control)
6.     {
7.         var player = PlayerInput.GetPlayerByIndex(playerIndex);
8.         var camera = player.camera;
9.  

Having something more built-in to more easily deal with mouse-pointer-vs-gamepad-stick kind of setups is an item in the bucket.

 

There's no plans ATM to add MIDI support ourselves. For now, there's too much other stuff that needs addressing first.

No decision has been made. We're considering the options. And feedback (like in this thread) is taken into account.

 

Here you go (might still be a bit until hi-res versions are available). Not a great video admittedly, but I thought until we have something better in place here, hopefully better than nothing
