Display button prompts with sprites in TextMesh Pro
Uploaded by Christina Creates GamesShare: Twitter Facebook
You can display button prompts (or just buttons to press) as sprites inside your TextMesh Pro text boxes with just a bit of initial setup. You'll see how to do it by hardcoding them in as well as in Unity's new input system, where bindings might change at some point.
For how to use the new input system, I highly recommend PitiIT's or Samyam's tutorials on the topic.

Interesting docs for the new input system you might be interested in:
Here are a few pointers of where to look for more info on how to get a string from your binding and/or how to get which input device type is currently active:
This for getting a binding
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/manual/ActionBindings.html#displaying-bindings
And here's one for getting the Binding Index by using a binding mask
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionRebindingExtensions.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputActionRebindingExtensions_GetBindingIndex_UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputAction_UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputBinding_
Here's the documentation on getting the current control scheme (though I have read that it doesn't work if you generate your C# script and my tests seemed to agree with that statement)
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInput_currentControlScheme
I have come across tutorials that mentioned saving the currently active input device to a value when input devices changes, though it has been a while and I can't seem to find my links anymore. Basically, they used this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.4/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputDeviceChange.html
If anybody knows of a great, applies-to-every-way-of-implementation kind of way, I would super appreciate to get to know about it =)!
