Plugging in a gamepad while the KCM is open
SUMMARY
Currently when the Joystick KCM is open and you connect a new game controller
the devices list does not automatically refresh. You either need to enter a
device file path manually or navigate away and back to this KCM to refresh the
list. This is not user friendly.
It would be more user friendly to automatically update the devices list when a
new game controller appears. Watching the /dev/input/js* files or using
whatever device discovery APIs available.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.23
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
