Wiki: scrub pseudo-colon em-dashes across user + dev pages

hifihedgehog committed May 26, 2026

Macros: document Toggle Touchpad Overlay + Set Gyro Engaged actions The MacroActionType enum (PadForge.App/ViewModels/MacroItem.cs) ships 20 actions today but the wiki only covered 18 — Toggle Touchpad Overlay and Set Gyro Engaged were missing. Added both sections after Stop Rumble, before the 'Axis source for continuous actions' note that wraps up the action list. Set Gyro Engaged includes the Mode (Toggle / On / Off) table and the OR-combine semantics with the Gyro tab's Aim Engage button.

Wiki: drop stale 'Last updated for PadForge 3.2.0' footers (22 pages) Every page on the wiki carried a '*Last updated for PadForge X.Y.Z.*' italicized footer hard-coded to 3.2.0. With 3.3.0 shipped, those footers become a lie on every page that wasn't actually re-audited for the new version — bumping them to 3.3.0 wholesale would just swap one lie for another since most pages haven't been touched since 3.2.0. Removing the footer entirely: git history of each page is the honest source of truth for currency. Wiki contributors who need to know whether a section reflects the latest behavior can read the page's commit log; no in-page label needed.

Macros: macro rumble routing covers all three writer families The Rumble action description said 'Sony slots write through the dispatcher; non-Sony slots use the SDL rumble path.' That's the v3.1 routing. v3.2 introduced XboxImpulseHidWriter as the sole writer for Xbox One+ pads (Xbox One / Elite / Series); the macro rumble merge flows through ApplyForceFeedback's per-pad-family fan-out the same way game rumble does, so the same three branches apply. Rewrote to list all three writer families.

Macros: em-dash pseudo-colon -> colon in variable-letter explanation 'Each one becomes a letter — a for the first' uses the em-dash as a pseudo-colon attaching the example list. Plain colon reads cleaner and matches the style rule (em-dashes only for true parentheticals).

Wiki: eradicate remaining 'chip' jargon from formula-editor prose Button-and-Axis-Mappings.md: 'Chip palette' section heading and the 'drag a chip' body sentence were still using the WPF Material Design control name. Renamed to 'Operator palette' / 'Drag an operator'. Macros.md: 'chip-style picker' cross-reference replaced with the plain 'cross-device input picker' + 'operator palette' wording that matches the editor's actual user-facing terminology. Memory rule feedback_no_chip_jargon.md flags 'chip' as opaque to readers; this completes the sweep across the wiki.

Pass 11/25: trim 'actually' filler from Button-and-Axis-Mappings, Adaptive-Triggers, Macros

hifihedgehog committed May 20, 2026

Pass 9/25: capture.ps1 fixes -- self-elevate + ScrollIntoView tabs + AutomationId-targeted dropdowns - Self-elevate at the top of the script. PadForge runs requireAdministrator, so a non-elevated UIA reader returns zero descendants (UIPI). Without this, FindAll on PadForge's window returns nothing and every Nav/Tab call falls through to a coordinate-click on stale UI. - Tab() now ScrollIntoView before clicking. The TabStripButton style fires its handler on the Click event, not on IsChecked-via-SelectionItemPattern, so a real click is required. When the strip wraps at narrow widths, ScrollIntoView brings the target row into view first. - Dropdown captures use AutomationId where the XAML has one: DeadZoneShapeCombo and SensitivityXCombo for the Sticks dropdowns. The old "iterate every ComboBox and probe item names" approach kept expanding the Preset and Assigned-Devices combos on the slot header, capturing the wrong dropdown. - For combos without an AutomationId (Triggers sensitivity), the fallback Capture-PadPageDropdownByItemName confines the search to the PadPageView subtree and explicitly skips AssignedDevicesCombo / ProfileCombo / PresetCombo / DeviceCombo. Macros.md: Custom Expression Variables section rewritten in a less defensive tone. "Add as many variables as the formula needs. Each one becomes a letter -- 'a' for the first, 'b' for the second, then 'c', 'd', 'e', and as many more as you add." Replaces the AI-shaped "Each row in the **Variables** table binds one letter to one input."

Pass 8/25: Related-pages first-word lowercase normalization + Stick-Deadzones 'Best for:' pseudo-colon sweep 41 Related-pages bullet first-words lowercased to match the established 'Page: lowercase description.' convention. Proper nouns (Xbox, DualSense, Sony, HIDMaestro, etc.) kept capitalized. One DualSense->dualSense miss caught and restored. Stick-Deadzones 'Best for:' colon-pseudo pattern dropped on all five deadzone-shape captions.

Pass 2/25: italic hook consistency, Related pages normalization, em-dash sweep - Italicized hook line on 12 user-facing pages that had plain hooks (Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Force-Feedback, Adaptive-Triggers, Lighting, Devices, DSU-Motion-Server, Web-Controller, Settings, Driver-Management, Input-Precision, 3D-and-2D-Visualization) and Troubleshooting. - Normalized Related-pages bullet formatting across 16 user-facing pages to one convention: '- [[Page]]: lowercase description.' - Home.md: cut filler 'long list of smaller wins' from the 3.2 intro paragraph; replaced em-dash pseudo-colon with a period; converted em-dash pseudo-colon in Gyro motion bindings bullet. - Controller-Slots.md: Open-a-slot tab list now reflects 3.2 reality (Gyro tab, Adaptive Triggers and Lighting on PS slots, Impulse Triggers on Xbox + PS). Related pages expanded to link the new pages. - Devices.md and Impulse-Triggers.md: em-dash pseudo-colons converted to periods.

Wiki: add Gyro / Shift Layers / Impulse Triggers, expand Mappings + Macros for 3.2 features New pages - Gyro: dedicated tab covering calibration, sensitivity, response shaping, engage gates, reference frames, per-(device, slot) persistence, per-source GyroSensitivity multiplier. - Shift Layers: per-slot mapping tables that activate while a button / chord / axis is engaged. Five activation modes, three activator kinds, per-layer color + emoji, Win11 flyout, last-engaged-wins resolution. - Impulse Triggers: split out of Force Feedback since the app has it as its own Pad-page tab. Covers game-driven passthrough (Xbox + DualSense), Constant Trigger Force, Audio Bass Trigger Rumble. Updated - Home.md "New in 3.2" now covers the full 3.2.0 feature set: mapping engine rebuild, shift layers, gyro Steam Input parity, impulse triggers tab, macro custom expression, lighting additions, platform changes. - Button-and-Axis-Mappings.md: per-VC scope, multi-source rows, six combine modes + custom formula, source kinds (Direct / Incremental / Invert On Hold), Bidirectional flag, direction badges, auto-mapping extend behavior. - Macros.md: Custom Expression trigger mode (formula + variables + recipes), multi-device combos in triggers, per-entry axis options. - Force-Feedback.md: trigger-motor sections moved to Impulse Triggers; cross-link added.

Wiki rewrite: simple-English voice across all user-facing pages Rewrites 18 user-facing pages and adds hooks to 7 dev-deep-dive pages. Each user-facing page now opens with H1 then a one-sentence hook, strips banned vocabulary, replaces em-dash pseudo-colons with periods, and ends with a version marker. User-facing rewrites - Installation, Dashboard, Controller-Slots, Button-and-Axis-Mappings - Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Force-Feedback, Adaptive-Triggers, Lighting - Macros, Profiles, Devices, DSU-Motion-Server, Web-Controller - Settings, Driver-Management, Input-Precision, Troubleshooting - 3D-and-2D-Visualization New 3.2 content woven into Force-Feedback (Impulse Triggers, Audio Bass Trigger Rumble, Constant Trigger Force) using actual in-app labels from Strings.resx. Profiles documents the new Toggle Virtual Controllers Disabled shortcut mode. Settings notes the stable-across-language-switch fix. DSU Motion Server covers the Gyro Aim Engage picker subtitle. Dev-deep-dive hooks added - Input-Pipeline, Settings-and-Serialization, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Engine-Library

Wiki sync: drag-reorder rebuild logic + DS4/Microsoft identifier renames User-facing: documents the profile-aware drag-reorder behavior on the Dashboard. Active controllers in a group constitute their own ordering; the kernel rebuild fires only when an active VC's relative position to other actives changes such that a profile mismatch results. - Controller-Slots: new "What rebuilds on reorder" subsection. - Dashboard: drag-reorder paragraph extended with one-sentence summary. - 3D-and-2D-Visualization, Devices, Profiles, Macros, Troubleshooting: residual Xbox 360 / DualShock 4 family-name leakage replaced with Xbox / PlayStation in user-visible prose. Web-controller layout slugs and specific HM profile names left as-is. Dev pages: reflects the v2-era identifier renames in code that landed in 005ef8e + dc5b9fd: - Architecture-Overview, Settings-and-Serialization, Virtual-Controllers: MaxDS4Slots -> MaxPlayStationSlots. - ViewModels, XAML-Views: DS4Count -> PlayStationCount. - Services-Layer: rewrote SwapSlots / MoveSlot entries + added a new RebuildKernelOrderAfterReorder subsection covering the simplified single-pass live-subsequence comparison (replacing the older ShouldRebuildKernelOrder predicate). Also corrected a stale Xbox360 enum default in the CreateSlot row to Microsoft (the actual preserved enum identifier). - Input-Pipeline: cross-reference added to the Services-Layer reorder section since kernel-allocation rebuild lives in InputService. Preserved: VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum value, MaxXbox360Slots constant, [XmlArray("MicrosoftSlotOrder")] attribute string, web layout slugs, ControllerModelDS4 / ControllerModelXbox360 class names, asset folder paths, HM JSON vendor "Microsoft"/"Sony" filter strings, all genuine Microsoft.Win32 / Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2 / registry references.
