📋 Summary

Introduce preset command options for common pause menu actions—like save/load state, restart, exit, etc.—with per-emulator support. This would simplify configuration, particularly for users managing multiple emulators with different command syntaxes.

❗ Problem

Currently:

• Users must manually define AHK or command-line actions for each emulator.

• There’s no built-in list of known commands tied to each supported emulator.

• This makes it tedious—especially for less technical users—to set up key features like save states or reset from the pause menu.

• Even when using popular emulators (e.g. Dolphin, PCSX2), users need to dig through forums or documentation to find the correct command or script.

💡 Proposal

Add a command preset system that:

• Auto-populates common emulator-specific commands for pause menu actions (e.g. Save State, Load State, Restart, Exit Game).

• Recognizes the selected emulator and suggests appropriate command options.

• Works in tandem with the AHK system, but without needing manual script entry.

Bonus features:

• A toggle to override with custom commands if desired.

• A small library or reference UI listing supported commands per emulator.

Example:

When configuring a game that runs in Dolphin, the Pause Menu setup might offer:

• ✅ Restart Game → Send {F10}

• ✅ Save State → Send ^F1

• ✅ Load State → Send ^F2

✅ Benefits

• 🎯 Greatly reduces setup friction for multi-emulator users

• ⏱️ Saves time and avoids error-prone manual entry

• 🧠 Makes LaunchBox more accessible for non-technical users

• 🧩 Allows for easier extension of Pause Menu functionality across platforms
