mmm, complex question. I guess I must look a little bit in the code to
find out what's currently implemented and what's only pure formal
interface, with no code behind. Basically, the idea of custom control is
to have a dedicated chunk of Guile code that tells if virtual
"up/down/left/..." keys are pressed or not. What this code does is up to
you, there's still a need to actually feed Guile with the right values (if
the controller is something specific not callable through Guile you're
stuck) but at least that's the "trap" I've planned to handle weird input
devices.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
