How to save manually edited RetroArch config?

[Gondola]


Once I've manually edited a retroarch config (in my current case, for a controller), how do I save and exit the editor?

Is there some obvious keyboard shortcut I'm oblivious to?

In the case that you've choosen nano as your editor, the shortcuts should be visible at the bottom of the screen. Nevertheless, here is the cheatsheet for nano.

@Ashpool Thanks but these don't seem to work. The editor is the default for the retroarch menu (I've not accessed the file from the command line) so I don't think it's nano. Would it be easier just to find the files in the command line and use nano? I can't seem to find any videos online of people manually editing their configs in the way I'm trying to.

@Gondola Phew, I am always using nano from the commandline (either direct, through the file-manager or via ssh), but if I remember it correctly: you should be able to use TAB to move the "Input/Cursor" from the editor frame to the "GUI" Part where you can select OK/Cancel.

@Ashpool Thank you SO MUCH. I've spent way too long on this and wish I'd worked that out. Big help!
