v0.5.3 Save-MORE-Settings Update!

This update introduces numerous quality-of-life improvements, most of which I wanted to get out in the previous update but I ran out of time.

v0.5.3 Save-MORE-Setting Update! (5/25/2024)

Virtual Gamepads:

-Virtual gamepads will now auto-connect if a gamepad binding is detected when the handheld is enabled, the dashboard is toggled, or a gamepad button press is attempted (Auto-connect/disconnect can be disabled in the General settings.)

-Virtual gamepads will auto-disconnect if a binding is loaded with a different virtual gamepad type or the default virtual gamepad is changed (Auto-connect/disconnect can be disabled in the General settings.)

-Binding the DualShock 4 touchpad to an Xbox 360 controller layout no longer fallbacks to a "back" button press. Instead, it just does nothing.

-Added slight jitter when thumbsticks are perfectly centered to prevent inputs from being desynced from not being properly updated (This behavior can be toggled off per-bindings profile)

-Virtual DualShock 4 controllers can now simulate the button press at the end of a trigger pull. This will be simulated by VR controllers that have a tactile trigger click (i.e. Index, Vive). For inputs that don't have a tactile trigger click, or if "trigger_full_click" is not bound in the SteamVR Bindings UI (i.e. Oculus Touch), then a threshold of >99% trigger pull will be used. (This behavior can be toggled off per-bindings profile)

General:

-"Analog Stick Multiplier" renamed to "Joystick Multiplier"

-Gamepad type now saves with the bindings file, along with the added option to use the default gamepad type

-Bindings file now saves what page/tab you were on in the Bindings menu

-Instead of having two separate buttons for connecting virtual Xbox 360 and DualShock 4 controllers, there is now one "Connect Virtual Gamepad" button which changes to a "Disconnect Virtual Gamepad" button when a virtual gamepad is connected

-Sliders in the keyboard & mouse bindings are now updated properly when the "Reset Bindings" button is pressed when not being shown

-Fixed bug where the wrong scroll value would be used when binding a single scroll after loading a binding

-"Single Scrolling" renamed to "One Shot Scroll" and "Continuous Scrolling" renamed to "Continuous Scroll"

-Fixed issue where switching between gamepad types would make analog modifiers disappear from the VR buttons list

-The depreciated "LTrigger" and "RTrigger" bindings now get converted to "LTAxis" and "RTAxis" respectively

-Current Binding texts for gamepad DPads are now more consistent with other gamepad bindings

-The "Expanded Keyboard" bindings tab button moved below the standard keyboard and next to the new "Mouse" bindings tab button

-Expanded Keyboard layout rearranged to be more aesthetically pleasing

-Fixed certain gamepad input text colors not changing properly when in an active state

-The face button color will now show on the glyph face when a button is pressed when "Behind Glyphs" is selected

Index:

-Default bindings for Index controllers changed to be the same as Oculus controllers as the trackpads on Index controllers don't work very well as DPads
