Different key for going to options menu in Big Box

Issue #6098 resolved

Currently the key you map to navigate back will also back you into the options menu. Since Big Box is used in many arcades (including my own), this menu should not be visible to the typical player. Could you please add a way to assign a different key to access the options menu instead of the back key?

I know there is the option to lock the menu, but IMO it shouldn’t show up at all when others are navigating the arcade machine. It just looks a bit messy to have it randomly pop up. I would set some combination of arcade buttons that had to be pressed in a specific order (via AutoHotKey) to access the menu.

This is the only thing I dislike about Big Box compared to my previous setup with HyperSpin. Other than that, I feel Launch Box/Big Box is superior in every way. So thank you for your hard work, and thank you for your consideration for adding this to your program.

    11.13 introduces the ability to require holding the back button to get to the system menu, as well as bindings to open the system menu up directly. This should help alleviate people from accidentally navigating to the system menu as you describe.
