    Hi, I'm working on implementing the new input system into my existing game project. I will try to explain my question. How can we get the user-changeable button image inside a TextMeshPro text using sprite asset? I can do that with static keys but I want to use the power of the new input system bind feature with TextMeshPro. Is there anyone who knows how to do that?

    Thanks a lot.

    Check out the GetBindingDisplayString methods. You probably can use that to acquire the name of the control and then proceed to feed it to TextMesh converting it to some sort of icon.

    You're right! If I set the TextMeshPro Sprite Assets name according to binding names, I can use like that Press <sprite="NorthButton"> to Drop. Thanks.
