Request support for Xbox Wireless Controller

[lein2023]

This is more like a game.

So I hope to support my Xbox.

So I can lie in bed and enjoy the night sky using a projection screen.

This is a great idea, don't you think

This is not a game.

Yes it would be nice for owners of xbox controllers to lie in bed and use these devices. One of them may even be able to get up, sit down and write the few necessary lines of code.

It is even supported in Qt5, but not in Qt6: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtgamepad-index.html

This is a good task for the community to participate in the contribution into Stellarium. Who wants to help us?

I 100% agree. That would be amazing.

@gzotti I need help to fix this issue.

I have neither an XBox controller nor any knowledge about it. Anybody else maybe?
