Turn off control shortcuts? i.e. Pause, TAB menu etc.

So we can pause using Player 1 Start + Joystick 1 Down, and access the MAME TAB menu using Player 1 Start + Joystick 1 Right.

Pretty useful at times, but I'd like to be able to turn those shortcuts off.

I've looked around but so far haven't found where those shortcuts are defined or how to turn them on or off. How can we do this?

Thanks.

You can change the shortcuts in /boot/hotkeys.ini and completely disable them in /boot/run.sh. Be aware if you disable the exit shortcut (or the whole lot from run.sh) you cannot exit the games without a keyboard.

As noted in hotkeys.ini do not comment out lines in that file, fully delete lines to disable things.
