Description

There are both, "Key Shortcuts" and "Hotkey Settings" with the same settings.

The first uses the WX option, the second one our self-written input code. As they are completely redundant, we should drop one of those.

Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know, this are the main differences:
Key Shortcuts:

  • use WX input, so also works fine if the game is stopped (can't be used to start a game)
  • has to be duplicated on different UIs (WX, QT, nogui)
  • simpler syntax, but not feature complete

Hotkey Settings:

  • use self-written input code
  • supports gamepads (and everything else which can be used for emulating controllers)
  • the render context must be in focus without background input (just UI isn't enough)
