I like to take a lot of screenshots while playing games in Dolphin but much more enjoy the "comfy couch" experience where I'm playing on a TV with my keyboard well out of my comfortable reach. This makes it difficult to hit he F9 key when I see something I'de like to take a screenshot of (and impossible to get good action shots). I'm curious if there is a way within dolphin to map the screenshot command to a button or combination of buttons on the controller?

Right-click on the "Take Screenshot" button in the hotkey settings window. In the window that then shows up, select your controller in the dropdown menu at the top, and select the button combo you want to use (for instance `Button RB` & `Button LB`).

So I can get one or the other to work (lb rb) but not both. I've tried adding a plus in between them but that seems to only make the second one work. Parenthesis just seems to break it completely.

Looks like

'F9' & 'XInput/0/Gamepad Shoulder L' + 'XInput/0/Gamepad Shoulder R'

If I do that only R works if I reverse it only L works

Try pasting in `F9` | (`XInput/0/Gamepad:Shoulder L` & `XInput/0/Gamepad:Shoulder R`)

& acts as an AND, and | acts as an OR. + doesn't really apply to what you're trying to do.

The defaults confused me as it seemed & was between CTRL SHIFT and F9 and I didn't need to hit all 3 together.

Thank you that worked.
