Bevy egui KBGP - improved keyboard and gamepad usage for egui in Bevy

egui is an immediate mode GUI framework, that can be used inside the Bevy game engine with the bevy_egui crate.

egui is very mouse-oriented, and while it does support tab-navigation, game menus should be navigatable by the arrow keys (and/or by WASD) and by gamepads.

This is where the bevy-egui-kbgp crate comes in. It allows to navigate egui widgets using the keyboard's arrow keys and using a gamepad's d-pad and left joystick (by default - all the controls can be redfined). It also allows activating these buttons from the gamepad.

Features

• Navigate the GUI using arrow keys and gamepads.
• Activate buttons from gamepads (egui already supports activation from keyboard with Space/Enter)
• Customize all these controls.
• Key assignment.

Planned features

• Support for comboboxes.
• Figure out how to support navigating out of textboxes.
• More navigation keys (back key, configurable keys...)
