Menu Improvements

[lasers]

• [ ] Improvement
• Implement Google to list games / search results better.

Using search prompt sometimes turns up with a game than the one I had in the mind.

In SNES, I'm seeing games in [0-9][A-Za-z]. I see 2020 Super Baseball. I /Super to get Super 3D Baseball. This skips Death and Return of Superman, The too.

Try it with /eye to get the first one on the list, 3x3 Eyes - Juuma Houkan, only to get Eye of the Beholder or /football to get Football Fury... Skipping everything else... ABC Monday Night Football, All-American Championship Football, Bill Walsh College Football, Capcom's MVP Football, College Football USA 97, Emmit Smith Football, Eric Cantona Football Challenge, and Euro Football Champ.

Want to play that F-Zero game? Type /zero to get Zero 4 Champ RR because you're not sure how the games will be named... F-Zero, F Zero, or FZero. It's just little things... and the names in the database get renamed regularly.

It's also not possible to use /Super on Horizontal Menu. The number of cores and consoles in the list are already large enough right now. While you can search for that specific core under Load Core, you still have to scroll all the way right to find that SNES console.

I wanted to know if we can get /Super to work on the Horizontal Menu too. Navigating down just one in the list could mean it should only focus on the list instead? Different search bind? Check down up/down first, then left/right? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Last thing, what about previous/next? Typing /Super always get me "Super 3D Baseball". I just checked the database... There are 506 Super in SNES alone!!! 😱 (Skips 73 in the list ; 406 starting with Super). No more Krusty's Super Fun House or Kirby Super Star for you.

• [ ] Possible bug

• [ ] Improvement ??

  No, different subsystems

• [ ] Improvement ??

• Get rid of User Interface. Bring back Menu and its two UI settings.

  No? I like User interface better than menu and menu is specific to the MENU DRIVER

• [ ] Improvement ??

• Break up Videos settings. Some options may belong in User Interface settings.

• [ ] Improvement ??

• Move Scan {File, Directory} back under the Main Menu to be dealt with later.

• [ ] Improvement // request

• Add Downloads directory under Scan Directory and Scan File.

• [ ] Improvement ??

• Consider stopping using 1.3.6 version in the corner and use something more meaningful like Build date and/or Git version. Can be very useful in identifying builddate/version in forums, screenshots, problematic RA bugs on YouTube videos, etc.

• Ignore anything after ' (' when searching in case somebody wanted to type US, Ja, etc. without getting (PHRASE AND/OR COUNTRIES). Rope is a good example.

• [ ] Possible bug // cosmetic

• When holding down something, Search: goes left along with the input. (Non-issue).

• Remove colon in Search: to stay consistent with other prompts.

• Remove some spaces before colon under Information to stay consistent with other lines. I made a PR ; Dead on arrival.

• [ ] Feature // request

• [ ] Improvement // request

• Hide Options under Quick Menu when no core options available.

• [ ] Possible bug

• Load a game. Pause a game using RetroArch's builtin option. Visit In-Game Menu. This is when you might notice you're having troubles returning back to the game. You have to unpause few times first to kill the In-Game Menu. #https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3882

No way we're gonna have the git hash there. It will stay at version number
