Add the means to make a button combo for escape

Issue #626 new
DOS76 created an issue

With the recent changes in ePSXe when using the close process button combo it causes an exit confirmation message to appear. If you simply use escape from the keyboard the game closes without any message so for certain instances such as these it would be great to have the ability to map a button combo for escape inside of the LaunchBox AHK settings. I've seen a couple of posts about it on the forum and by adding this it would help people using controllers to exit without any issues.

    Well we can leave it up, it's just you mentioned ePSXe really and that is solved for anyone who reads this. There is an option to get rid of the confirmation.

    I am still unsure if it is something we can feasibly do though.

    Really the way the controller setup is now to use two buttons for close process I figured it would be easy to just have the hold button and another button simulate an escape button press. For SNES9x Nestopia KAT5200 and VBA escape opens the menus that is another reason I thought it could be useful but now that I'm typing this just because it showed the menu doesn't necessarily mean you could open and navigate it with the controller so maybe it wouldn't be as useful but also maybe the average user doesn't want to be forced to use the Lilypad plugin instead of the suggested ePSXe controller plugin. Like I said its up to you either way I won't be upset if you close it and start freaking like that other dude I saw either last week or the week before he went a tad batshit over it.

    Or some kind of one button shortcut to bind a single button on a game controller to the escape key on the keyboard.
