In Lr-Fuse when I press the "p" button it pauses.

What it says in title. In Lr-Fuse when I press the "p" button it pauses, so I can' play games with QAOP keys configuration. How can I remove this pause feature?
Thanks in advance.

@Lord-Vek input_pause_toggle you could either disable it globally in your main all/retroarch.cfg or just in that system zxspectrum/retroarch.cfg. Set the value to blank or "nul" or comment it out with a # (in the global config only; if it's set global you'll need to explicitly un-set it on the system level.)

input_pause-toggle =
input_pause-toggle = "nul"
# input_pause-toggle = "p"

@sleve_mcdichael I will try it. Thanks for the quick answer!

@Lord-Vek There is a hotkey set at Settings > Input > Hotkeys > Game Focus (Toggle). Pressing that hotkey will disable/enable all other retroarch hotkeys (including pause), i'd recommend using that hotkey when running an emulator which expect you to press keys on a keyboard, otherwise many keys won't be usable within the emulator.

@barbudreadmon Thank you! I'll try it.

@Lord-Vek It worked! It took me a while to find out that the start+select combination didn't allowed me to exit until I turned the game focus off again. But whose idea was this for the keyboard shortcuts? We don't all interested to emulate only consoles, you know. Some of us had actual computers and we want them to be able to be controlled from the keyboard.

Having keyboard shortcuts in a software is a pretty normal thing if that's what you are asking about ?

Lord Vek

@barbudreadmon The shortcuts shouldn't be activated by default, but only IF someone wanted them. That is especially true on emulating machines like ZX Spectrum, where there are games you can play exclusively on the keyboard. Why are the shortcuts activated by default? If I hadn't read the answer above, for how I can turn them off, I wouldn't know what to do.

As a headless software, retroarch is heavily shortcut-driven, literally nothing can be done without them. With things as you want them, you literally wouldn't be able to leave the emulator, which seems far worse than having a few keys with side-effects.

I believe things are optimal as they are, maybe that "Game focus" mode should be mentioned in the core documentation though.

Lord Vek

@barbudreadmon I agree. Even the term "game focus" isn't intuitive enough, otherwise I might discover the solution by myself searching the menus.
