Workflow preset
Screenshot & Recording: layout for Mac
Screenshot & Recording can be driven from a game controller, a MIDI pad, or an adaptive controller on a Mac. InputConfig sends real keyboard and mouse events, so the app sees an ordinary keyboard and mouse. This is the layout the app's Smart Preset Maker builds for it: Capture the screen, a region, or a window.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Screenshot & Recording and pick it. The layout below is created as a preset in your sidebar, named and ready.
- Press Activate. Every row can be changed afterwards: the editor's Scan button rebinds any control the moment you touch it.
The full button map
| Controller | Sends | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Left stick left | Mouse motion left (speed 16) | Pointer left |
| Left stick right | Mouse motion right (speed 16) | Pointer right |
| Left stick up | Mouse motion up (speed 16) | Pointer up |
| Left stick down | Mouse motion down (speed 16) | Pointer down |
| Right trigger | Left click | Click / drag selection |
| A / Cross | Command (Left), Shift (Left), 3 | Whole screen (Cmd+Shift+3) |
| B / Circle | Command (Left), Shift (Left), 4 | Selected region (Cmd+Shift+4) |
| X / Square | Command (Left), Shift (Left), 5 | Capture toolbar (Cmd+Shift+5) |
| Y / Triangle | Command (Left), Ctrl (Left), Shift (Left), 4 | Region to clipboard (Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4) |
| Start / Options | Escape | Cancel (Esc) |
| Back / Share / Select | Return | Confirm (Return) |
| D-pad up | Up | Up |
| D-pad down | Down | Down |
| D-pad left | Left | Left |
| D-pad right | Right | Right |
Button names follow the Xbox / PlayStation pair shown in the editor, so A / Cross is the bottom face button on either pad. On a Switch Pro Controller the bottom button is labelled B; the mapping still fires on position.
Tips
- A captures the whole screen, B a region you drag, and X opens the capture toolbar.
- Captures land on your desktop by default; Start cancels an in-progress grab.
Make it yours
Nothing here is fixed. Rows can be re-scanned to a different control, given hold and double-tap actions, chords, turbo, macros, haptic or spoken feedback, and per-binding deadzones and sensitivity curves. The binding editor guide covers every option, and the controller map shows what each control is called.
