Need help writing an XML file for an unsupported app - just need to send up/down/left/right arrow keys

[velo]

I am a huge SpaceMouse fan and for the longest time I have been wanting to write an XML file so that I can use my beloved mouse to pan my drawings in my markup application Brava Desktop. I tried to clone existing XML files, change the executable to read BravaDesktop.exe, stop and start the driver, but I can never get the mouse to work in the application. I have even tried the keyboard template XML, but it doesn't work. I only want to send the up/down/left/right arrow buttons by using the tilt functions. Can someone give me a hand? I'll be so thankful

Try this file.
Try it with notepad.exe first, then change the <ExecutableName> to BravoDesktop.exe if that is the name of the app.
Save this into <3DxWinCore>/cfg/BravoDesktop.xml.

Thanks a lot for your help. I put it in an XML file, changed the executable file to read notepad.exe, but it wouldn't work in Notepad. Am I doing something wrong?

I did stop and start the driver; restarted Notepad just to be sure; the SpaceMouse icon in the taskbar displays the correct XML file.
