[Feature] - press 2 or more buttons for a command

Here's my feature request and my rationalization for it. I would like to be able to map key commands (such as exit, fast forward, save state, etc...) to combinations of 2 or more joystick buttons being held down at once. It would be kind of the opposite of the macro key option already in place. I'm getting a SNES pad adaptor soon and I would like to be able to operate a frontend and ZSNES hooked up to a TV without a keyboard or mouse. Since there are no extra buttons on the SNES pad, I would like to be able to at least exit by pressing someting like Start+Select, or L+R+Start. If any unique combination could be mapped, then you would be able to do a lot without needing a keyboard.

I guess if anybody knows of a joystick to keyboard utility that could do what I'm asking, I'd just take that. So far the few I've tried haven't.

This would be rather complicated the way the current code works. Without a major rewrite of the joystick handling code it would be very hard to add. Unless you are willing to take such up such an undertaking (required assembly knowledge) then I don't think this is going to happen too soon.
