How to display single composite value instead of full W/A/S/D ??

Good evening!

Question is simple, I can’t find a way to only display only one part of a composite axis

I am doing a binding menu for my game and I want each part of the composite to be rebinded individually, that works.

But now, when it comes to displaying the information, I do this:

_keyName_text.text = _inputAction.GetBindingDisplayString(0, InputBinding.DisplayStringOptions.DontUseShortDisplayNames);

But for some reason it will only display the full thing, and that’s not what I want since I’m rebinding individually (Forward, Backward, Left, Right).

For now, I’ll go with parsing the results from ‘GetBindingDisplayString()’, and since I know which index of the composite axis I am accessing, I can count the amount of ‘/’ and simply take the character before it

But is there some other solution? I mean, there is not a single game I played in my life that does that kinda of weird rebinding 4 axis at a time…

Thought I’d share the code to retrieve a unique letter or group of letters between slashes based on index:

    string GetStringAtIndex(int p_index, string p_input)
    {
        string[] parts = p_input.Split('/');

        if (p_index >= 0 && p_index < parts.Length)
        {
            string selectedPart = parts[p_index];

            if (selectedPart.Length > 0)
            {
                char selectedChar = selectedPart[0];

                return selectedChar.ToString();
            }
            else return "Invalid part";
        }
        else return "Invalid index";
    }
