==Walkthroughs==
==Walkthroughs==
These walkthroughs require you to navigate to the [[Community:SteamVR_Bindings#Where|VRChat SteamVR Bindings page]].
=== Default Bindings===
To reset your bindings to default, navigate to the [[Community:SteamVR_Bindings#Where|VRChat SteamVR Bindings page]] and select <code>Activate</code> on the official Default Bindings available for your controller.

Almost all inputs can be configured. Find the input you'd like to configure and hover over it, you'll see a pencil icon you can click. After clicking the pencil you'll find a cogwheel on the right side of the input which will bring up dialogue box with input settings.

===Deadzones===
To change the deadzones on control sources like Trackpads & Joysticks, open their [[Community:SteamVR Bindings#Changing Input Settings|input settings]] and adjust the values to your liking. <code>DeadZone</code> is what you'd expect and <code>Max Zone Percentage</code> determines how far from the center of the control source is 100% value.

There's certain things you can do in bindings that can cause issues. Try to avoid these when possible


=== Multiple actions on per control ===
<blockquote>
When you bind multiple actions like this, it stops them from functioning instantaneously and makes them a bit unpredictable. <ref name=":0" />
====Curve Exponent====
This exponent value is applied to change how speed scales on the final relative position between the Deadzone and Max Zone. <code>Speed = Value^<sup>Exponent</sup></code>


(Image upload pending)
[[File:SteamVR Input - Curve Exponent.png|400x400px]]</blockquote>


===Trigger thresholds===
TODO


A functional use case would be setting '''action menu''' to press and '''quick menu''' to double; it introduces a small delay on the action menu input which can be interrupted by a double click to open the quick menu without accidentally opening the action menu.
===Changing haptics===
Most control sources on the default bindings have an [[Community:SteamVR Bindings#Changing Input Settings|input setting]] for <code>Haptic Amplitude</code>. To turn haptics off, you'll need to go through '''every''' control source [[Community:SteamVR Bindings#Changing Input Settings|input setting]] on the controller and set <code>Haptic Amplitude</code> to '''0'''. Make sure to also check the control sources in other action sets besides global. If you want to remove the haptics upon hovering over menu items in VRChat, select the <code>Haptics</code> button in the center of the Global action set & change <code>Left/Right Hand Haptics</code> to '''Unused.'''

TODO: guide to the binding select page with an image.  


TODO: Link to SteamVR beta for a fix on community bindings (remove later when fixed)


==== Hard bindings reset ====
==Controller info & fixes==
In rare cases, a full hard reset of your bindings may be needed due to issues with SteamVR.


TODO
=== All controllers===
Various fixes that are potentially globally applicable.
<blockquote>


=== Vive ===
==== Can't do gestures at all====
Vive is a little special, two default binding modes are available with different feature sets. (TODO: write about them)
By default coming into the Input 2.0 update, gestures were set to disabled. You can enable them in them in the [[Action Menu]].


==== No touch to move / Emotes are "sticky" ====
<code>Path: [[Action Menu]] ➜ [[Action Menu|Options]] ➜ [[Action Menu|Avatar]] ➜ Gestures</code>
It's likely that you previously used Vive Advanced controls before Input 2.0. You can restore Advanced behavior you're used to by switching from '''Default Bindings''' over to the '''Default Advanced Bindings''' which can be found on the bindings select page.
<blockquote>TODO: GIF navigating to toggle in action menu</blockquote>


==== Difficulty moving ====
====Double tap is opening the Main Menu====
The default thresholds for movement on Vive controllers require you to hit the very edges of the touchpad. This can be changed by adjusting Dead zones.
This feature was introduced with Input 2.0. You can disable it in the [[Settings#Controls|Controls]] section of the [[Main Menu]]
====Disabling finger tracking====
Skeletal based finger tracking is enabled by default for all controller types. You can disable it in the [[Settings#Controls|Controls]] section of the [[Main Menu]]
====Reverting to old finger tracking====
If you prefer the old finger tracking method, navigate to the [[Action Menu#Quick Actions|Quick Actions]] section of the [[Action Menu]] and enabling Legacy fingers. <sup>(per-avatar basis)</sup>


TODO: Recommended values for Simple & Advanced
<code>Path: [[Action Menu]] ➜ [[Expressions]] ➜ [[Action Menu|Quick Actions]] ➜ Legacy Fingers</code>
<blockquote>TODO: GIF navigating to toggle in action menu</blockquote>


==== Accidental jumping ====
====Tracking breaking in SteamVR Dashboard====
With a mix of adjustments to Overlap percentage & Dead zone on the Trackpad DPADs, you can restore pre-Input 2.0 behavior.
This is due to a SteamVR feature called Keyboard privacy introduced in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/250820/view/4371390626087848465 SteamVR 2.7] which stops applications from seeing device positions while the Steam keyboard is visible. In SteamVR settings navigate to <code>Dashboard</code> and set <code>Keyboard Privacy</code> to '''Disabled.'''
<sup>'''Currently this safety feature can only be disabled in the SteamVR Beta'''. [https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4F5E-AD22-7402-2EAD Opt in Instructions]</sup>
====Hard Bindings reset====
In rare cases, a full hard reset of your Bindings for VRChat may help solve unknown issues. Navigating to <code>(username)/Documents/steamvr/input</code> and delete the <code>steam.app.438100_controlType.json</code> of the affected controller type. Restart VRChat to generate new files.
</blockquote>


TODO: Recommended values for both
===Vive Wands===
<blockquote>


==== Grip isn't doing hand open / Isn't clearing gestures ====
====Advanced Controls====
This seems to be an oversight with Vive Advanced Bindings, you'll need to add the Gesture_wheel_cancel_open_left & right actions to your grips as a Button press inputs.
Under the Official Bindings for Vive Controllers you can choose between '''<code>Default Bindings</code>''' & '''<code>Default Advanced Bindings</code>.'''


TODO: image showing what the newly added button should look like
Default Vive & Default Advanced Vive vary in gesture control & movement. In Advanced mode, you can click the trackpad to move then release click but continue touching the trackpad to continue moving. Advanced Vive also has a different way of handling gestures with support for soft gesture select behavior.
====No touch to move / Emotes are "sticky"====
It's likely that you previously used Vive [[Community:SteamVR Bindings|Advanced controls]] before Input 2.0. Try switching.


=== Index ===
====Difficulty moving ====
The default thresholds for movement on Vive controllers require you to hit the edges of the touchpad. You can adjust the trackpad [[Community:SteamVR Bindings#Deadzones|Deadzones]] to change this.
====Accidental jumping====
With a mix of adjustments to [[Community:SteamVR Bindings|Overlap percentage]] & [[Community:SteamVR Bindings#Deadzones|Deadzones]] on the Trackpad DPADs, you can restore the pre-Input 2.0 zone for jumping.
====Physbone posing with grip ====
At time of writing (8/30/24) Physbone posing is part to the <code>interact</code> action and there's is no way to restore pre-input 2.0 functionality of pose via Grip without sacrificing other functionalities.
<blockquote>[https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/1501-vive-controllers-unwanted-gesture-behavior-in-action-menu Related Canny]</blockquote>


==== Easier item holding / Auto Hold ====
====Unwanted Action Menu gestures====
This is because the Action Menu action set is a copy of the Global action set. If you wish to keep Fist/Open hand functional but prevent the trackpad from firing emotes, you can migrate the actions of <code>Gesture Wheel - Disable Move</code> And <code>Gesture Wheel - Disable Rotate</code> to Touch on their respective Buttons instead of Click. If you want to disable ALL gestures (including fist/open hand) while the action menu is open, you can delete all Gesture Wheel actions from the Action menu action set all together.

SteamVR input is a universal keybind system for all controllers usable in SteamVR. Instead of binding keys like "space" to jump, VR game developers provide actions we can directly bind to inputs on SteamVR controllers. The UI also provides a way for users to find or share community bindings. [1]

Glossary

Terms Explanation
Bindings A complete set of bindings between inputs and actions that can be saved and shared in the Steam Workshop.
Action Behavior that can be bound to inputs or chords, like movement, selection, or bringing up the camera or personal mirror.
Action set A group of actions that corresponds to a specific context, like using the menu or action menu, or global actions that are available in any context.
Control source A specific physical actuator on a controller, like a joystick, trigger, button, or trackpad.
Control source mode

(Use control as)

A mapping that defines how a control source's movements or sensors are interpreted as inputs.

For example, a trackpad can be mapped as dpad or a button, and a joystick can be mapped as joystick or scroll wheel.

Input A specific movement or sensor reading from a control, interpreted through a control source mode.

For example, a button's control source mode might provide touch, press, hold, or double-press inputs.

Chords Bindings that combine two or more inputs to execute one action

Mostly from the official docs but with some edits for clarity.

Control Source Modes

Walkthroughs

These walkthroughs require you to navigate to the VRChat SteamVR Bindings page.

Default Bindings

To reset your bindings to default, navigate to the VRChat SteamVR Bindings page and select Activate on the official Default Bindings available for your controller.

Binding editing page

Navigate to the VRChat SteamVR Bindings page and select Edit on the current Binding.

SteamVR Input - Editing Bindings.png

Changing input settings

Almost all inputs can be configured. Find the input you'd like to configure and hover over it, you'll see a pencil icon you can click. After clicking the pencil you'll find a cogwheel on the right side of the input which will bring up dialogue box with input settings.

TODO

Deadzones

To change the deadzones on control sources like Trackpads & Joysticks, open their input settings and adjust the values to your liking. DeadZone is what you'd expect and Max Zone Percentage determines how far from the center of the control source is 100% value.

Curve Exponent

This exponent value is applied to change how speed scales on the final relative position between the Deadzone and Max Zone. Speed = Value^Exponent

Trigger thresholds

TODO

Changing haptics

Most control sources on the default bindings have an input setting for Haptic Amplitude. To turn haptics off, you'll need to go through every control source input setting on the controller and set Haptic Amplitude to 0. Make sure to also check the control sources in other action sets besides global. If you want to remove the haptics upon hovering over menu items in VRChat, select the Haptics button in the center of the Global action set & change Left/Right Hand Haptics to Unused.

DPAD overlap percentage

TODO

Don'ts

There's certain things you can do to bindings that can cause issues. Try to avoid them when possible

Multiple actions per control source

When you bind multiple actions like this, it stops them from functioning instantaneously and can make them unpredictable. [1]

Bad vs Good method for multiple actions via one control source

A functional use case would be setting action menu to Single and quick menu to Double; this will introduces a small delay after the single press input which can be interrupted by a double click to open the quick menu without accidentally opening the action menu.


Controller info & fixes

All controllers

Various fixes that are potentially globally applicable.

Can't do gestures at all

By default coming into the Input 2.0 update, gestures were set to disabled. You can enable them in them in the Action Menu.

Path: Action Menu ➜ Options ➜ Avatar ➜ Gestures

TODO: GIF navigating to toggle in action menu

Double tap is opening the Main Menu

This feature was introduced with Input 2.0. You can disable it in the Controls section of the Main Menu

Disabling finger tracking

Skeletal based finger tracking is enabled by default for all controller types. You can disable it in the Controls section of the Main Menu

Reverting to old finger tracking

If you prefer the old finger tracking method, navigate to the Quick Actions section of the Action Menu and enabling Legacy fingers. (per-avatar basis)

Path: Action Menu ➜ Expressions ➜ Quick Actions ➜ Legacy Fingers

TODO: GIF navigating to toggle in action menu

Tracking breaking in SteamVR Dashboard

This is due to a SteamVR feature called Keyboard privacy introduced in SteamVR 2.7 which stops applications from seeing device positions while the Steam keyboard is visible. In SteamVR settings navigate to Dashboard and set Keyboard Privacy to Disabled.

Currently this safety feature can only be disabled in the SteamVR Beta. Opt in Instructions

Hard Bindings reset

In rare cases, a full hard reset of your Bindings for VRChat may help solve unknown issues. Navigating to (username)/Documents/steamvr/input and delete the steam.app.438100_controlType.json of the affected controller type. Restart VRChat to generate new files.

Vive Wands

Advanced Controls

Under the Official Bindings for Vive Controllers you can choose between Default Bindings & Default Advanced Bindings.

Default Vive & Default Advanced Vive vary in gesture control & movement. In Advanced mode, you can click the trackpad to move then release click but continue touching the trackpad to continue moving. Advanced Vive also has a different way of handling gestures with support for soft gesture select behavior.

No touch to move / Emotes are "sticky"

It's likely that you previously used Vive Advanced controls before Input 2.0. Try switching.

Difficulty moving

The default thresholds for movement on Vive controllers require you to hit the edges of the touchpad. You can adjust the trackpad Deadzones to change this.

Accidental jumping

With a mix of adjustments to Overlap percentage & Deadzones on the Trackpad DPADs, you can restore the pre-Input 2.0 zone for jumping.

Physbone posing with grip

At time of writing (8/30/24) Physbone posing is part to the interact action and there's is no way to restore pre-input 2.0 functionality of pose via Grip without sacrificing other functionalities.

Related Canny

Unwanted Action Menu gestures

This is because the Action Menu action set is a copy of the Global action set. If you wish to keep Fist/Open hand functional but prevent the trackpad from firing emotes, you can migrate the actions of Gesture Wheel - Disable Move And Gesture Wheel - Disable Rotate to Touch on their respective Buttons instead of Click. If you want to disable ALL gestures (including fist/open hand) while the action menu is open, you can delete all Gesture Wheel actions from the Action menu action set all together.

Related Canny

Grip isn't doing hand open / Isn't clearing gestures

You're likely missing the Gesture Wheel Cancel Open (Left/Right) actions on your grips as a Button clicks.
