I would like the configuration of XMBC to be different depending on whether different mice hardware are connected.
My use case: I use a Thinkpad laptop, it is with me always and could be considered an extra limb. At work I have a docking station and a very ergonomic Evoluent vertical mouse. At the home office I also dock, and have a Microsoft ergonomic mouse. And often I use only the laptop, prefering the trackpad, not the trackpoint stick.
I came to XMBC to be able to swap and configure a couple of buttons on the Evoluent. (I have moved to ARM64 and Evoluent config app doesn't work, indeed they pointed me here - see other post.) Now, this remapping makes no sense as soon as I am on a different mouse. (Note that my needs now are extremely simple, time will show if I will use XMBC in more advanced ways.)
I figure I can have different profiles, or different layers*), for each situation. I presume layers would be best here, because profiles can't be switched quickly? And that I could configure a hotkey or mouse action to switch layers. But I am a sucker for automation. I know already that if I e.g. pull my laptop from the docking to go to a meeting or do a presentation, and the mouse is "wrong" and I have to swtich profile manually, I will be annoyed.
Hence the question: Can I have profile or layer switched depending on whether a particular mouse is connected?
*) The layers function is initially a bit bewildering - what is it for? I understand a bit now, from browsing forum and seeing what people are doing with it. The manual could perhaps benefit from a brief explanation when layers are introduced on p. 4: What is it for? What are some examples and use cases?
