AutoHotKey support?
I'm getting tired of working around the shortcomings of what can and can't be assigned just by editing XML files... Is there any way for a program like AutoHotKey to pick up the SpaceMouse's signals, to map them to other outputs as I see fit in a script that I can write myself? Or are there any other programs that do something similar, with more flexibility than the official software? Or do I not have any choice but to build some sort of native windows app to sit between the official drivers and the program that I want to control, doing the official driver's job?

From what I've seen of AutoHotKey, it is a terrific product. It is way more sophisticated than we can justify building.
I don't recall how it works. There have been some AutoHotKey users on this forum.
You have several options:
1) It might try to open the native device. Great if it does, but you need to tell our driver to stop doing its thing when using it. Or stop our driver.
2) If it does not open our device, tell our driver to output joystick events. Probably it will catch those.
3) If you are a developer, you can have all the device's data sent to a plugin you can write. In that, you can do whatever you want.
