Recently played games shortcuts on long press on Launchbox app?

[ChunkyLoverMark]

Hi again, before I request this feature in the feedback section, I just wanted to know if it's possible from the Android Devs.

 

So when you long press on certain Android apps, if they're set up for it you get shortcuts. As seen on my Discord app here:

These are the my last viewed Discord forums and pressing any will jump me straight to that section of the app. I was wondering if Launchbox could do the same, remembering, and displaying shortcuts to my most recently played games in a list, but instead of opening the game page on Launchbox when pressed, it would open the game straight in the emulator (Retroarch, Dolphin ect) to save time and resources of first having to open Launchbox? I'm not sure if the shortcuts can open other apps or if there's a workaround you could do? Would be a great feature if you could and be a great time saver.

 

Thanks 🙂

I'm not sure if that's actually possible, but worth putting in a feature request for, which I believe you've done.

If it gets enough traction, we'd do the research to see if that's even possible.
