Improve the controller configuration by accepting several buttons

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): GNU/Linux
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): 32-bits
 - Mupen64Plus version: 2.0.0
 - Plugins used: none

Describe the problem:
My controller is a XBOX 360 Pad and it has 2 triggers (called LT and RT).
The N64 Pad has only 1 trigger (called Z).
I would like to assign LT (button 6) and RT (button 7) to Z.
So I edit my mupen64plus configuration file:
~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg

I can write this:
Z Trig = "button(6,7)"

Or this:
Z Trig = "button(6) button(7)"

But in both keys, only 1 button is accepted for the Z trigger.
Is there a way to accept several buttons for the Z trigger ?

Thank you.
Best regards.

Only input settings using pairwise different types (key, button, axis) are 
currently possible

OK I see.
I think it should be good to allow to use several times the same type of input 
in the configuration file for the key mapping.

Have you tried adding them on different lines? When I was editing my .cfg file 
the first time I had different buttons that would do the same thing because I 
was changing on line at a time and testing, so I would end up with lines like:

A button = "button(3)"
...
A button = "button(8)"

and they both would work, so maybe that might work out the way you want.

Yes I write this in ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg:
...
Z Trig = "button(6)"
Z Trig = "button(7)"
...

Then I run the emulator:
$ mupen64plus documents/downloads/emulation/n64/roms/Super\ Mario\ 64\ \(U\)\ 
\[\!\].z64

But when I am playing, I see that only one of the buttons is assigned.
Also, if I am watching the mupen64plus.cfg file, after I launched the emulator, 
it has been modified automatically and now it contains only:
...
Z Trig = "button(6)"
...
One line has been removed.

So it does not work.

hglez86: No, the plugin cannot store these and thus adding it to different 
lines doesn't work

I, too, would like to be able to bind N64 controls to multiple inputs.
