 Shortcuts are called by pressing ''<hotkey>'' + ''<button>'' simultaneously on player 1's game pad.
-You can identify the hotkey from the main EmulationStation menu : press any key on your controller and you should see a little "controller" icon appear on the upper left corner to identify your player number (a little box at the bottom left corner in earlier versions of Batocera).
