Spreadsheet Navigation: layout for Mac
Spreadsheet Navigation 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: Move between cells, edit, copy.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Spreadsheet Navigation 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 |
|---|---|---|
| D-pad up | Up | Cell up |
| D-pad down | Down | Cell down |
| D-pad left | Left | Cell left |
| D-pad right | Right | Cell right |
| Left stick left | Left | Cell left |
| Left stick right | Right | Cell right |
| Left stick up | Up | Cell up |
| Left stick down | Down | Cell down |
| Right stick right | Mouse motion right (speed 16) | Cursor right |
| Right stick left | Mouse motion left (speed 16) | Cursor left |
| Right stick down | Mouse motion down (speed 16) | Cursor down |
| Right stick up | Mouse motion up (speed 16) | Cursor up |
| Right trigger | Left click | Click |
| A / Cross | Return | Confirm (Enter) |
| B / Circle | Tab | Next cell (Tab) |
| X / Square | Command (Left), C | Copy (Cmd+C) |
| Y / Triangle | Command (Left), V | Paste (Cmd+V) |
| LB / L1 | Command (Left), Z | Undo (Cmd+Z) |
| RB / R1 | Command (Left), S | Save (Cmd+S) |
| Back / Share / Select | Backspace | Delete (Backspace) |
| Start / Options | Escape | Cancel (Esc) |
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
- D-pad and left stick move between cells; the right stick is a pointer.
- Face buttons handle Enter, Tab, Copy, and Paste.
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.
