thanks basisvector (great user name, btw). Your approach does work, thank you.
I also had the additional complexity between switching between openXR and metaXR plugins. The latter doesn’t use PMI at all. I also found that if I took the default IMC_Default from the VR template and split it into two but tried to load both IMC when using openXR, my controllers were stuck to the floor. If you try to do the same thing w/ the VRTemplate, it does the same thing. Weird.
Wish there was some good documentation the usage pattern to be used for Enhanced Input. I dredge touching PMI/IMC/IA since something always breaks.
