A new community-developed tool for Elite Dangerous dynamically adjusts controller mappings based on the current game state. By reading the game's status.json file, the tool automatically triggers a joyshockmapper sublayer to redefine control layouts and lightbar colors. This adaptive approach aims to improve gameplay immersion and user experience by tailoring controls to different scenarios, such as combat or exploration. Shared by Reddit user Plokhi, this innovation highlights ongoing community efforts to refine control customization for commanders.
