Krazed Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Everything is perfect with this app, but it really would be nice to change the hotkeys (primarily the Exit button). I know this may seem small and seem insignificant to some, but as one who uses this primarily for PC games (I hate Steam) it would be so much easier if there was a way to exit Launchbox with the Escape Key instead of Alt + X.

Jason Carr Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi Krazed, Thanks for the feedback; good idea. I'll add an item to my list to add configurable keyboard shortcuts. In all honestly, it might be a bit, but we will get to it. Thanks, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aevans0001 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Any update on this Jason? I really need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Keyboard mappings have been in place for quite a bit now. Just head into your options in BigBox and look for keyboard mapping settings. Set Exit to "escape" if it is not already done so and then hitting escape will close out BigBox.

Aevans0001 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 @Jason Carr Is this option also in launchbox? can it be added? Even if it is a Paid option. Also can you list what the shortcuts are currently? Or are they actually added in big box and converted down to launchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aevans0001 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Where at, I only see for controllers. ok So i learned that LEDBlinky uses the settings in Bigboxsettings.xml, is this also where Launchbox gets there settings?

Jason Carr Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Key bindings are currently not available in LaunchBox. LaunchBox is designed to follow standard Windows keyboard and mouse control; we've never added customizable keyboard shortcuts or keyboard navigation in LaunchBox itself. I'll add it to my list of items for the next community poll, although I don't think that request has received much attention in the past. LaunchBox does not use settings from BigBoxSettings.xml. The LaunchBox settings are all in Settings.xml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westley1978 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Can launchbox add a button to exit from set emulators. For example on gameex, you pressed ESC button with all emulators and took you back to the gameex interface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a few one-off emulators that don't do that by default, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllius Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Bump, I would also love to have a configurable shortcut key section. Particularly, at least, update metadata bound to a key combo. Is there a preset shortcut in Big Box to add a currently viewed selection to favorites? I didn't see an option to set a key binding for it, thought it might also be a good suggestion. I think you all are doing an amazing job with this software, by the way. Thank you for all the hard work and constant attention! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllius Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 F11 or F key for full screen in LaunchBox would also be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I couldn't find one either. But then I realized I could favorite games from the Game Details screen and decided that was a better solution for me anyway. I use BigBox in an arcade cabinet and have disabled the automatic showing of the Game Details screen and instead have a button mapped to viewing game details. My thinking is I don't want my kids accidentally favoriting games. Since marking a game as a favorite is an infrequent occurence for me I don't mind jumping into the game details screen first to make it a favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
