Feature request: Profiles for controller mappings in LB

Issue #7852 open
Paddy Kroetz created an issue

I have a little feature request, but I think it's too special and that most people don't need it.

I use a few different joypads for my systems (like a Xbox-controller as a general controller and some SNES- and N64-ones from 8bitdo for example). I mapped some useful functions in LB like SELECT+START (button 7+8) for pause screen or SELECT+DPAD DOWN for quit with my general xbox-controller. And now to my problem: Some of my 8bitdo-controllers have a completely different button-mapping (like button 7+8 are L+R now instead of SELECT+START), so it basically breaks most of my LB-mappings and makes it hard to play the games. It would be cool, if LB could recognize the controller-type and automatically load something like a mapping-profile for that particular controller (which I, of course, created before).

I really don't know if that would be interesting for a lot of users, but I wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks for this great piece of software!

Oh and a basic question: Is it possible to map more than two buttons for a function? I tried, but had no luck. I'm looking for a workaround for my problem and a 3-button-config could be helpful.
