SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_LINUX_DIGITAL_HATS(3)

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_LINUX_DIGITAL_HATS3

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.

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_hints.h

Overview

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.

Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.

From libsdl3-doc 3.2.10+ds-1 in Debian 13 (Trixie). Parsed by carta from the page's man source.
