Teleport Locomotion cannot be used in Desktop Mode

[Dusty-Sprinkles]

Describe the bug?

Currently the Teleport locomotion cannot be used in desktop mode, and if you attempt to it will return an error failing to bind to keyboard and mouse inputs in spite of being a relatively simple locomotion type. This makes an otherwise useful tool for certain games and experiences inaccessible for content targeting a wide audience.

To Reproduce

Change to Teleport locomotion while in desktop mode and see the resulting error in your log

Expected behavior

You can teleport in desktop mode

Additional Context

I tested this on the prerelease because I needed to turn off mods for that anyway but this is an issue on current as well.

I’m going to comment that while it may seem teleport is sorta useless outside of vr the game Derail Valley uses stick/wasd movement with a teleport button that works the same way as teleport in Resonite and it is used nearly as often by desktop players as it is in vr. It’s often used by players as faster movement or used to position themselves on platforms or in accessible but difficult to reach spots and really helps reduce the need for platforming skills. This is probably one of the only cases where I have seen a control intended for vr being used to enhance the desktop experience as well. It would be nice to have this as an option for Resonite.

As you highlight- it does indeed have uses, even in a desktop / flat context. Simulation sickness is a thing, even outside of VR contexts, and better support for this locomotion mode ensures that more users can comfortably use the platform on all devices.

I do not believe this issue is a bug however in this case, @Dusty-Sprinkles - as the log indicates, bindings just have not been made for that locomotion for keyboard and mouse as it was originally created / intended for motion controls.
