[Feature Request] Add Controller Hotkey Support

[LotusCSGO]

Enable controller hotkeys to be used for the main program, specifically to call sys_suspend. This is crucial for those of us wanting to launch from EmulationStation or Steam Big Picture Mode without using controller hacks like xpadder. Currently, everything works except for the ability to cleanly quit back to the EmulationStation frontend.

I believe this can be solved with a custom key bindings.

No you need external/third part software to solve it. It is not possible to shutdown emulation by gamepad input. But I think it would be a nightmare to code full gamepad input support. Maybe in some key forwarding in the pad plugin. Currently the hotkeys are however handled by the core.

My apologies. Didn't really read the issue correctly I guess 😛

You can do it through the pad plugin, but then the plugin would need to always be active even when the emulation is off or paused. In the current situation you can for example pause the emulation, but then no longer resume it as the plugin will be closed.

Done on Qt, won't be done on wx.
