Add 'turbo while key pressed'

jez9999 commented 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many emulators allow turbo mode only when a key (often tilde) is pressed. DOSBox-X only allows turning turbo on through the UI and disabling it on any keypress.

What you want

DOSBox-X should allow a shortcut (perhaps F11+tilde by default) to be mapped to "turbo mode while key pressed", so that as long as I hold down F11+tilde turbo mode is on, and when I stop pressing it turbo mode is turned off.

You may use the old version 0.83.20 of dosbox-x. https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/releases/tag/dosbox-x-v0.83.20

Open the Mapper Editor, and find "Toggle Speedlock" event on page 2. If it has not been added a BIND, just "Add". Using the host (F11) and the key you specified to perform the event.

Does that mean it's been removed? If so, why?
