Retroarch keyboard hotkey combinations

Hi and thanks once again for this fabulous retrobat v2.4.0.2 which I am enjoying greatly with the retrobliss level-up custom build.

My question is very simple as I would like to change the retroarch hotkey combos (and only that) like combinations to fast forward, to load a state, to save, etc...
I'd like to do it in a way that it is permanent and transversal for all games and platforms (those using retroarch at least),
including keys from my keyboard in particular (the standard ones preset for the joypad are ok).

I can do it easily entering in retroarch menu through emustation and I save the config before exiting
but then when I launch another game, the hotkeys combos are being reset in the same config as before my changes...

I also tried to set the main retroarch.cfg file as read-only but then some games dont even launch...

What can I do?

thx a lot

Hello,

This is not possible for the moment. The hotkeys cannot be changed.

Hi, Thx for getting back to me on this: I understand there is no easy front-end option to do so.

But is there at least a way to manually edit some "master" config file where the combos are stored (only the keyboard shortcut, not the pad ones)?


Thx once again

Hello,
If you know c# dev, it's possible.
But It's not easy.

I saw your private message (thank you for not contacting him by this way) and if you know how to dev C# you will not ask me this question. Hotkeys are hardcoded, is not just a file you need to edit.
All dev informations are on the githubs.

We will not make a special version for you or for someone else, because hotkeys are not suitable for you.  the choice of hotkeys is the result of a survey a few months ago.

(sorry wrong post)

Hi guys sorry to resume this thread but I cannot fine a key combo for JUST THE KEYBOARD which will be able to pop up the Retroarch menu during game play; is there that combo for just the keyboard ? I found the key combo for my Stadia controller but nothing seems to work with just the keyboard; i read the docs and the FAQ but no precise answer to that question.

YU ARE MY SAVIOUR !!! Do you know what is the "hotkey" key for the keyboard ? I mean if i want to exit i need to press hotkey + esc... which one is the keyboard hotkey ?

Did you try ESC ? Else you could always use alt+F4

Or Right CTRL + ENTER (return)

Sorry, hotkey is simply right ctrl
