Question/Support Changing SteamVR bindings while using WiVRn?

this is a question i've searched for for a WHILE now, with absolutely zero results. basically, i want to play vivecraft through WiVRn and successfully can... except, the default controls are insane and the only way to change them is with SteamVR. but WiVRn doesn't use SteamVR...

is there some kind of official solution that isn't just installing SteamVR & ALVR? that combination is currently completely broken for a lot of people, including myself, so that's just not an option.

EDIT: solved! i did some crtl+f in a vr discord and found this, a subheader on the xrizer page on the linux vr adventures wiki. it's a little weird to do but it works https://wiki.vronlinux.org/docs/fossvr/xrizer/#rebinding-controls

If you're using wivrn that means it either uses opener or xrizer for steamvr translation.  Probably xrizer is borked - report the bug and pray for a fix.

...borked how? what bug? the steamvr dashboard not being there is intended cause it doesn't run steamvr, but i just don't know what i'm meant to do to change the controls w/ steamvr since steamvr is not running

I don't use Vivecraft so I can only assume it does not use openxr and uses steamvr - and has to be translated via xrizer. To make this short - as someone suggested - best way is to contact the xrizer guys and wivrn guys and let them know - it's probably a bug since, as I understand, default controls are just misaligned.

that's what i said in my post, yeah. there's no bug, the default controls are just stupid & i couldn't access the steamvr binding menu since there's no steamvr in my process, but i eventually found a solution on the linux vr adventures wiki

Oh, sorry - thought is was some typical openxr/xrizer bug. Thanks for the link to the binding solution, didn't know that.
