• Additional tests for UI Input default actions (Navigate, Submit, Scroll etc.)
• Documented behaviour of InputSystemUIInputModule automatically enabling the UI action map. ISXB-621

Additionally this fix now also generates warnings in the console for any divergence from expected action configuration or lack of bindings in edit-mode.
• Fixed a minor issue when importing InputAction assets that could result in unexpected logging during internal package validation checks.

Changed

• For Unity 6.0 and above, when an EventSystem GameObject is created in the Editor it will have the InputSystemUIInputModule by default if the Input System package is installed and enabled.

1.8.1 #

Fixed

• NullReferenceException thrown when editing a binding path in InputActionAsset windows.

1.8.0 #

Changed

• From 2023.2 forward: UI toolkit now uses the "UI" action map of project-wide actions as their default input actions. Previously, the actions were hardcoded and were based on DefaultInputActions asset which didn't allow user changes. Also, removing bindings or renaming the 'UI' action map of project wide actions will break UI input for UI toolkit.
• Changed the 'Max player count reached' error to a warning instead.
• Removed "Input Actions" title from UI-Toolkit Input Action Editor when used in a window and not embedded in Project Settings.
• Moved project wide input action storage over to an Asset to avoid issues with multiple assets in a single project settings file.
• Migrate any project-wide input actions found in the InputManager.asset file to a new InputSystem_Actions.inputactions asset file.
• InputSystem.actions may now only be assigned in edit-mode. Any attempt to assign InputSystem.actions during play-mode will generate an exception.
• InputSystem.actions may now only be assigned a persisted InputActionAsset instance since in-memory objects can anyway not be included in a player build. This now generates an ArgumentException when attempting to assign a non-persisted object.
• Project Settings embedded Input Action Editor will now disallow selecting the Project-wide Actions asset during play-mode. The option is only available in edit-mode.
• The "Assign as the Project-wide Input Actions" option visible in the Inspector when selecting an .inputactions asset that is not the current Project-wide Input Actions Asset is now disabled in play-mode.

Added

• Added new methods and properties to InputAction:
  • InputAction.activeValueType returns the Type expected by ReadValue<TValue> based on the currently active control that is driving the action.
  • InputAction.GetControlMagnitude returns the current amount of actuation of the control that is driving the action.
  • InputAction.WasCompletedThisFrame returns true on the frame that the action stopped being in the performed phase. This allows for similar functionality to WasPressedThisFrame/WasReleasedThisFrame when paired with WasPerformedThisFrame except it is directly based on the interactions driving the action. For example, you can use it to distinguish between the button being released or whether it was released after being held for long enough to perform when using the Hold interaction.
• Added Copy, Paste and Cut support for Action Maps, Actions and Bindings via context menu and key command shortcuts.
• Added Dual Sense Edge controller to be mapped to the same layout as the Dual Sense controller
• Added drag and drop support in the Input Action Asset Editor for Action Maps, Actions and Bindings.
• UI Toolkit input action editor now supports showing the derived bindings.
• Device filtering support for control schemes in the UI-Toolkit Input Asset Editor.

• Fixed an issue where UI Toolkit Input Actions Editor wouldn't provide a correct modification state when coming back from domain reload.
• Fixed an issue in the Input Actions Editor window where entries being cut would be deleted instantly and not after being pasted.
• Fixed an issue where preloaded InputActionAsset objects added by a Unity developer could accidentally be selected as the project-wide actions asset instead of the configured asset in built players.
• Fixed a compile-time warning: warning CS0109: The member 'UnityRemoteTestScript.camera' does not hide an accessible member. The new keyword is not required. showing up in the Console window when building a player including the Input System Unity Remote sample.

1.8.0-pre.2 #

Changed

• Removed icons from action map list as these were always the same and the icon was placeholder
• Input asset editor now switched to use UI Toolkit which matches the project wide input actions editor interface.
• Changed InputActionProperty property drawer to be more compact. Use the More menu (⋮) button to open a dropdown menu and select between Use Reference and Use Action.
• Static analysis warnings regarding flag enums have been suppressed in order to avoid compile-time warnings or errors.
• Action Map and Action Tree views of the UI Toolkit based Input Action Editor now prevents deselection in both views when Escape key is pressed.
• Input Action Asset editors Auto-save feature has been modified to trigger on focus-lost when activated instead of triggering on every modification to the asset in order to reduce impact of processing required to handle modified assets.
• Project-wide input actions template extension changed from .inputactions to .json. This avoids showing template actions in the action's selector UI that are not intended to be used.
• Re-enabled some UI tests that were disabled on iOS.
• Reorganized package Project Settings so that "Input System Package" setting node contains "Input Actions" and "Settings" becomes a child node when Project-wide Actions are available. For Unity versions where Project-wide Actions are not available, the settings structure remains unchanged.

Added

• Support for Game rotation vector sensor on Android.
• Duplicate Input Action Items in the new Input Action Asset Editor with Ctrl+D (Windows) or Cmd+D (Mac).
• Selection of InputActionReferences from project-wide actions on fields that are of type InputActionReference. Uses a new advanced object picker that allows better searching and filtering of actions.
• Reset project wide Input Settings to default via a new Kebab-menu in Input System Project Settings.

Fixed

• Partially fixed case ISX-1357 (Investigate performance regressing over time). A sample showed that leaving an InputActionMap enabled could lead to an internal list of listeners growing. This leads to slow-down, so we now warn if we think this is happening.
• UI fix for input fields in interactions: they are wider now and the width is fixed.
• Fixed exiting empty input fields for actions, action maps and composites in the input action asset editor.
• Fixed an issue where selecting an Action in the Input Action Asset Editor tree-view and then pressing ESC to unselect would throw an InvalidOperationException.
• Fixed an issue where selecting an Action Map in the Input Action Asset Editor list and then pressing ESC to unselect would print an NullReferenceException to the Debug console.
• Fixed case ISXB-251 (Action only calls started & performed callbacks when control type is set to Vector3Composite). EvaluateMagnitude wasn't overridden for Vector3Composite, also made some minor changes to Vector3Composite and Vector2Composite for consistency.
• Fixed case ISXB-580 (UI Submit / Cancel not working with Switch Pro controller) by adding "Submit" & "Cancel" usages to the Switch Pro controller input controls.
• Fixed an issue where undoing deletion of Action Maps did not restore Actions correctly.
• Fixed case ISXB-628 (OnIMECompositionChange does not return an empty string on accept when using Microsoft IME) by clarifying expectations and intended usage for the IME composition change event.
• Fixed issue where the expanded/collapsed state of items in the input action editor was not properly saved between rebuilds of the UI.
• Fixed issue where The Profiler shows incorrect data and spams the console with "Missing Profiler.EndSample" errors when there is an Input System Component in Scene).
• Fixed an issue where undoing duplications of action maps caused console errors.
• Fix for BindingSyntax WithInteraction() which was incorrectly using processors.

• Fixed the GetHapticCapabilitiesCommand always failing to execute due to a mismatch in the size in bytes of the payload and the size expected by XR devices. Changed HapticCapabilities to include all properties returned by the XR input subsystem. This makes Input System match the functionality provided by the XR module's InputDevice.TryGetHapticCapabilities and HapticCapabilities.
• Fixed issue where deleting a binding in the Input Action Editor would usually result in an unexpected item being selected next.
