Input mapping auto-proceed to next button #15

Current design of the input mapping for bsnes for Windows (not certain about other builds for other operating systems) makes it so to assign inputs I have to do the following:

  1. Click the Named input I want to map, such as "Up"
  2. click "Assign"
  3. press the button on my gamepad
  4. repeat

Many other emulators in their UI's and frontends in general allow you to press a button that automatically guides you through the process, ie "Press up twice" (like mednafen) and then it proceeds to the next on "Press down twice".

It would be helpful to add this feature to the input mapping. Anytime I have to remap inputs, it's needlessly laborious.

Thank you.

I don't know how complex this would be to implement with the user-interface system bsnes currently uses, but yeah, it would be nice.
