Use joypad instead of mouse for aiming in Xonotic

Question

Is it possible to use joypad instead of mouse in Xonotic?

According to this setting it looks that not.

I need especially the keys for aiming, which I can't find under key bindings.

See https://askubuntu.com/questions/156017/gamepad-setup-ignored-by-games and https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/joystick-connection-request-for-xonotic/6244 and Google "Xonotic joystick input" for more info. — heynnema, Oct 19 '19 at 18:49

There are utilities to map inputs to other devices. One of them is qjoypad: http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/

You can write a simple code run it background in python or C using a library. You need to look an inputmapper library for python or c for linux.

Or you can write mouse driver which get its input from joypad: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2476
