fast forward is with backquote

Post by Norbert »

Hi. Your application and documentation claims that the fast forward key is tilde (~), but I think it is backquote (`).
The (US) QWERTY keyboard layout requires the use of Shift for tilde, namely with Shift+backquote.
I haven't checked the code, but based on ZSNES' behavior, I'm pretty sure the keycode that triggers fast forward is backquote, and Shift is simply a modifier that may or may not be active.
You mention tilde (at least) here:
* On the in-game "speed options" menu pop-up.
* At http://zsnes-docs.sourceforge.net/html/ ... astforward
* At http://zsnes-docs.sourceforge.net/html/ ... s_emulator

But tilde is way more fun and memorable to type and say than that-backwards-apostrophe-thing.
