SaveKit Input Remap + Profiles

SaveKit Input Remap + Profiles is a GDScript add-on for Godot 4 that manages named input profiles (physical keyboard keys, mouse buttons, joypad buttons and signed joypad axes) and applies them to the engine's InputMap. It adds presets, share codes, exact-binding conflict warnings and plain-text binding hints such as Pad A or Esc. The hints are text, not controller icons. The SaveKit adapter is optional.

What is in it

• Multiple profiles. Add, clone, rename, delete, select and apply named profiles. Apply replaces only the actions a profile lists, sets their deadzones, and leaves other InputMap actions alone.
• JSON import and export. Validated, versioned documents (schema version 2). Version-1 documents are migrated to version 2. A failed import does not change your existing profiles.
• Three presets. Keyboard WASD, keyboard arrows and a basic gamepad preset, as JSON files in examples/presets/.
• Share codes. A profile becomes a text string starting with SKIP1- that you can paste back in. A checksum catches accidental corruption. Share codes are not encrypted and not authenticated: anyone can read or make one.
• Conflict warnings. Reports when two actions in a profile share exactly the same binding (same key and modifiers, same device, same axis direction). Warnings do not block applying a profile. The free Lite edition finds the same exact-binding conflicts; the paid edition has no more detailed conflict report than Lite.
• Text hints. Labels such as Space, Esc, Mouse Left, Pad A and Pad Axis 0+. A keycode that is not valid is labelled Key N.
• Panel scene and demo. A ready-made panel (profile list, clone, rename, delete, apply, two preset buttons, per-action Rebind and Clear, JSON and share-code text box) and a small demo project. Rebind and Clear keep the action's deadzone, a rejected rebind shows Rebind failed: ..., and Esc cancels capture.
• Optional SaveKit adapter. Works with a settings object that you pass in, if it provides get_settings(), set_action_events() and save_settings(). It saves the binding map only, not profile IDs or names. Without that object the adapter reports itself disabled and everything else keeps working.

Install

• The ZIP has no enclosing folder. Extract it into a new, empty folder.
• To run the demo, open demo/project.godot in Godot, or run godot --headless --path demo --quit-after 3 from the extracted folder. Keep the extracted layout: the demo reaches the add-on and the presets through res://../ paths.
• For your own game, copy addons/savekit_input_profiles into your project's res://addons. No autoload and no plugin activation is needed. Preload the scripts as shown in docs/quickstart.md. The demo's outside-the-project paths are for running the demo from the ZIP; they are not an export recipe.
• To use the preset buttons of the panel, set panel.preset_dir (for example res://presets, a folder holding the preset files) before the panel enters the scene tree. If it is empty the preset buttons show an error.

Testing scope

Written for Godot 4; recorded release testing used Godot 4.7.2 on macOS, headless. Included test scripts are in tests/.

What was not tested

• GUI editor interaction or using a GUI window by hand; headless editor import/load was tested.
• Real keyboard, mouse or controller input. The Rebind row's own key-capture needs real input and has no automated test; the handler that receives its result is tested.
• The real GodotSaveKit service. The SaveKit adapter was tested against a stub only.
• Other Godot versions, other operating systems, exported games.

Please check controllers and exports on your own setup before you rely on them.

Good to know

• Conflict detection is exact-match only. Overlap between wildcard devices is not analysed.
• Only physical keyboard keys are supported. Action names in imported documents must be Strings; a StringName key is rejected.
• Imports are size-limited: JSON up to 65,536 bytes, share codes up to 100,000 characters.
• The add-on declares eight global class names (for example InputProfileService and GlyphHintMap). They could clash with scripts in your project.
• With the SaveKit adapter, SaveKit keeps the binding map only. Keep profile IDs, names and the profile collection yourself, for example as exported JSON.
