Keyboard C64 / Vice, cannot start games using ESC, Run/Stop/ Enter

[plaetzchen79]

I have posted it in the gitlab support a while ago.
Try it here now.

Some C64 games require keyboard inputs for names etc.
(I do have a usb keyboard attached).
That is the reason i cant start games like "giana sisters" or "winter games".
The first requires to hit "Run/Stop" which is usually mapped to "ESC" in Vice.
But hitting "ESC" on an attached keyboard brings me back to the ES.
In "winter games" i have to hit "ENTER" after the name input. Doing that starts the VICES settings and virtual
keyboard.
But i cant control it. I cant use it with gamepad since the cursor isnt moving.
Using the build in touchpad from the usb keyboard i can move the cursor but the enter/confirm isnt working.

Any ideas how to solve it?

I think it would be great to put some common keys on the gamepad like "ENTER", "SPACE", "RUN/STOP" for the C64.
And: Is it possible that the VICE Keyboard inputs overrule the Recallbox-OS key settings?

Thank you for your great work!!!!

here you find the commodore 64 keyboard map

here the emulator keymap

For example the RUN / STOP key is mapped to ESC (RETROK_ESCAPE)

Press Hotkey + B to configure
QuickMenu->option to joypad key setup
QuickMenu->option->create game-option file to save
