Improvement suggestion - Simultaneous speed boost and mute

Open StacheMan opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi openemu team,

I am particularly interested in being able to speed-up a game and have it automatically mute at the same time. This is because as a gaming session prolongs I get a headache from the giberish soundtrack.

However, seeing as I am not always speeding the game during a session, I would like for the sound to automatically reactivate when I stop pressing the space key (the key I use for speeding up).

Could this be possible to implement? Perhaps assigning both the mute button and the speed-up button to the space key.

Right now I use a different key for each command, and it's pretty annoying.

Or maybe there is a different way in which I can already achieve this?

Thank you for your work!

Quick fix offhand, as derived from #1169

You'd need a way to send keystrokes at the HID layer; I'm not sure if Keyboard Maestro can do this, but you could set up a macro that sends both keys when Space is pressed, and then release them when unpressed, and only active while OpenEmu is frontmost
