      Hi guys, I'm building an arcade cabinet with dedicated admin buttons like exit game, pause, menu toogle, etc like the picture in this post https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/244733.
      I know that to trigger a hotkey, one has to click the hotkey button (select) + the action button (Exit), but I want to trigger each hotkey by just pressing one of the admin buttons, so I need to wire each action button to the single hotkey (select) so this dual pressing is done physically on the background, since I'm not very good with electrical things I've come for help on how draw this circuit diagram, I saw a similar diagram on this post https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/244828 but I honestly don't understand it.

        @danilux just don't have a "enable_hotkey" button defined, and the remaining hotkeys will function independently.

          @sleve_mcdichael I'm using a fork of retropie that doesn't allow this, well it allows it it just defaults every settings changed on reboot, so I need to do this via the hardware
