Keyboard Shortcut for LaunchBox Options

📋 Summary

Add a dedicated keyboard shortcut for opening the LaunchBox Options window, similar to the Ctrl + , shortcut commonly used in many modern desktop applications.

❗ Problem

Accessing LaunchBox Options currently requires navigating through menus:

• Tools > Options

While this works well, users who spend a lot of time configuring LaunchBox frequently access the Options window and would benefit from a faster method.

Many desktop applications provide a dedicated shortcut for settings or preferences, making configuration changes quicker and more discoverable for power users.

💡 Proposal

Add a keyboard shortcut to open the Options window directly.

Potential defaults:

• Ctrl + ,

• Or another configurable shortcut if required

Ideally this would:

• Work from anywhere within LaunchBox

• Immediately open the Options window

• Be configurable through the existing keyboard shortcut system

🧩 Use Cases

• A user is adjusting settings while configuring emulators

• A user frequently switches between Options and their library during setup

• Power users can access settings without navigating menus

• New users benefit from a shortcut that matches common application conventions

📦 Benefits

• Faster access to frequently used settings

• Improves workflow efficiency for power users

• Aligns LaunchBox with common desktop application standards

• Reduces reliance on menu navigation

• Simple quality of life improvement with minimal learning curve

⚠️ Considerations

• Should avoid conflicts with existing shortcuts

• Ideally configurable through the keyboard shortcut manager

• Ctrl + , may feel particularly familiar to users coming from modern productivity apps and development tools
