Shortcuts for Favorites and Tags in Screensaver Mode

Summary:

While watching the Big Box screensaver, it’s common to spot interesting games you’d like to classify quickly — for example, marking them as Favorites, adding a “Want to Play” tag, or excluding them with “Won’t Play.”

Currently, doing so requires exiting the screensaver and opening the game’s edit screen, which interrupts the flow.

Proposed Enhancement:

Add optional hotkeys that can be used directly while the screensaver is running, allowing quick tagging or classification without leaving the view.

Suggested Shortcuts:

  • ❤️ Mark / Unmark as Favorite

  • 🎮 Add “Want to Play” tag

  • 🚫 Add “Won’t Play” tag

  • ⏭️ Skip to Next Game (bonus quality-of-life shortcut)

Benefits:

  • Keeps the immersive screensaver experience uninterrupted.

  • Makes it easier to curate collections or manage large libraries.

  • Encourages quick discovery and organization of games directly from passive browsing.
