[Suggestion] Keyboard auto-detect (RPi 4, nightly build Lakka) #1268

Raspberry Pi 4 B 4gb Lakka Nightly RPI 4 arm Apr 15 2021

Hardware: USB Keyboard and USB Mouse Cores: DosBox and DosBox-SVN

Im not sure if it is a bug, but when I started a first time setup and attempt at DOSBox the keyboard was not allowing me to input certain keys. IE P was pausing, I quickly had to delete all the keyboard hotkeys, then when Enter and some other keys such as the arrows and x was not inputting I went to controls to change them from gamepad to keyboard and mouse for the core.

It did not allow me to use those keys until I disconnected the gamepad so RA will not get confused, Using the Keyboard I had to change it from gamepad to keyboard+ mouse and then delete the keys form the input list.

Can you, please, check, if same behavior is in standalone RetroArch in e.g. Raspberry Pi OS? If so, then this has to be reported upstream, not here.

So I did end up testing it out on RetroArch which is also installed on my Linux Mint 20.1 Desktop PC. It does the same thing, I never used Dosbox on it but I just downloaded the core and ran a game with it, with my gamepad, Mouse and Keyboard hooked up. RA version of PC: 1.9.1 Build Date: March 30, 2021

Edit: So do I close the this issue and post it in RA's Github issue page instead?

More about DOSBox input in RetroArch - https://docs.libretro.com/library/dosbox/#user-1-2-device-types Maybe changing the Device Type (?) or other options will get the desired efect?

One of the suggestions I have gotten from another member on the RetroArch Github page.

"Starting in v1.9.1, there's settings > input > Auto Enable 'Game Focus' Mode (may be an advanced setting, in which case you need to go to settings > user interface > show advanced settings ON before it will be visible), which will automatically trigger the 'game focus mode' setting (mapped to "scroll lock" key by default). This is essentially keyboard/mouse capture, insofar as it sends those events directly to the core instead of listening for hotkeys, etc."
