Separate "Fast Forward" shortcuts
Could you please rename the current "Fast Forward" shortcut to "Toggle Fast Forward", and then add a new "Fast Forward (hold button)" shortcut?
We're used to holding a key down to fast forward on other emulators like bsnes and MAME. I suggested adding it as a separate option not to remove the existing functionality.
I was very disappointed too... always used to hold a key, then release it. Would be great if you could still implement this.
It would be also awesome to having and hotkey for saving into Slot 1-9 and load them separately.
Great Emulator!

Ok, I'll see what I can do.

Mmmm 1 hotkey to save and 1 to load? 18 hotkeys?

Some emulators indeed let people set that many hotkeys (Shift + 1, Shift + 2, etc.), like mGBA:

puNES already has a nice GUI for using multiple save slots, though:
Instead of hardcoding dozens of new hotkeys, I think it'd a better idea to have only two new hotkeys (Save state in slot... and Load save slot...) to show this gallery. You can then make it accessible with the player's controller: the D-pad to select a slot, A to confirm the selection, and B to close the gallery (or vice-versa). The exact button mapping can be shown on the screen to make it look like official game save screens:
If you decide that something like this is a good idea, then the current hotkeys would become Quick save and Quick load.

Thank you! Maybe you can now move @GreyFoxGer's request to a separate issue and close this one.
