[FR] Other key combinations for more shortcuts (C= + Shift + Fx) #47

I would like that you can add C= + SHIFT or C= + CTRL Key for other shortcuts too

i would like to assign "OPEN TAP FILE" , "OPEN CRT FILE", "OPEN AUTOSTART PRG/D64 FILE" menús on other shortcuts too, so i can choose a game to load directly from keyboard without opening it from C= + F7 and browsing on correct voice in the global menú each time

Just to give my own 5c's on this one. Before Randy released the 1.7 version I coded my own version of these shortcuts F1-F7. In my version I put in HardReset as one of the mapping alternatives (I really miss that one now, even if I'm staying of course on Randy's official one that is much better than the way I did it). (Sidenote: Please please can we get soft/and or hard-reset as one of the mapping options as well).

However, as I use the Final Cartridge III together with the emulator and keyrah, I notice that holding the Run-Stop key down to bypass the desktop won't work, it was the same in my version. I am not sure why this is, but maybe there is some delay or upstroke that has to be waited for so that the emulator catches the downstate of the run-stop.

Otherwise, I think that the idea to map a "shifted" version of the function keys using CTRL+ C= is absolutely great.

Thanks.

i know that C= key is need for bypass desktop of FC3 or other cartridges for a clean C64 boot, like on C128 same key boots up C64 instead C128.

About Hard or soft reset on hotkey is nice but risky, may do it for mistake :)

Reset will be in the next release. I held back because I wanted to add an optional confirmation dialog before the reset took effect. I want to give people an option to avoid accidental reset especially with the gamepad buttons that are easy to hit. I'll try to get the Run-Stop key to work with reset too. It seems to work with VICE on the desktop okay.
