I'd say leave tab alone, and add a new hotkey to toggle frame limit on and off.

Tab isn't going to be convenient for gamepad users, no matter what happens. I'd really need to be on Space or NumPad0 to be easy to pop it on and off while using a controller. A toggle would be a little easier, but it doesn't fix the real problem problem of pressing tab while using a controller sucks.

A configurable hotkey is a better solution I think.

The fast forward button needs to be configurale...

1. I use Alt+Tab to switch focus between windows, Dolphin will fast forward anyway when I don't want it to, even if Dolphin is out of focus.
2. I'd like to fast forward on only one specific Dolphin out of several instances.

My two cents.

Besides that, I agree with the users above, I'd love to see alternate FPS limit, such as up to 120 (x2), 240 (x4), 480 (x8), or slow down by 30 (x0.5), 15 (x0.25), etc. but it isn't necessary. It will help prevent Dolphin from stalling for several seconds after fast forwarding too much with no FPS limit or to prevent player from releasing FF button too late after getting past of something important in a blink (players with badass computer may have experienced this). And to help player to control precisely during slow mode.

The fastforward key is now configurable. Kosta, would you consider that enough, or do you still want toggle behavior?

I would say no. It is configurable only for keyboard and toggling is still desirable, though definitely better than before.

Could it be possible to use the LB button (xbox360 controller-example)instead of the keyboard? Like Ppsspp does.

I'm using Gamecube controller. I definitely agree with Kostamar, I'd love to have a persistent button for frame limit.

The increase/decrease frame limit doesn't quite do the job as it requires two keys and could get lost somewhere in the frame limits.

HOWEVER I'm all for increase/decrease frame limit keys if it can be customized, such as to only 60 and 120, 240, 480, or so FPS.

to toggle FF

hold TAB;
still holding TAB, hold SHIFT;
release from tab, then shift.

voila, you can do it faster than it looks.

• Im also looking for a way to go backwards?? anyone?

Wow so this issue has been fixed after all these years, i have completely forgotten about it. Will try to test it when i find time, at first glance seems to be an even better implementation than what i suggested since you can toggle any key now. Thanks for the fix.
