      I am trying to use the lr-atari800 emulator 3.1.0 under Retropie 4.8

      Whenever I press the “h” key in a program (I’ve tried DOS 2.5, Star Raiders and Pole Position) the game/program resets, making the key unusable.

      The keyboard does not seem to work correctly either - for instance when trying to type the name of a blank disk within the emulator’s Disk Management utility, I get a fast repeat of letters pressed.

      Does anyone know why this is happening or what steps I might take to resolve these issues?

        @tmxretro the "h" key is the default retroarch "reset content" hotkey and, without a controller connected, there is no default "enable hotkey" hotkey configured, so all the other ones (like "reset content") will work on their own, with just a single keypress.

        You can toggle game focus with the "game focus (toggle)" hotkey (default: scroll_lock, configurable from settings > input > hotkeys > game focus (toggle)). While game focus is enabled, other hotkeys (including "exit emulator") will not function, passing full keyboard control to the loaded core; press scroll_lock again to disable game focus and return hotkey functionality.
