Well within dosbox you can do many actions like "grab screen, grab wav, grab midi, grab adlib, grab opl3, grab video, in/decrease frame skip & ips, setup the keaboard and so on...all done with keyboard shortcuts...)

What about a control panel beside the dosbox window? This would be a more than usefull idea.
Well, many games allready use the keyboard shurtcuts which will be used by dosbox and so the keyboard shurtcuts do not work for the game.

I've a suggestion, too.

When the mouse is locked, we haven't any chanse
to release it. With a shortcut like STRG + ALT,
the mouse could be released.

Do you follow me?

(I'm german. Sorry for bad english)

Hmm, maybe you could do some kind of control panel inside DOSBox window - after pressing some keys switch emulation to "text mode", and display some kind of menu (like this from Game Wizard). This way the menu would be cross-platform and usable in all the OpenGL/Direct3D/OtherStrangeDisplayDrivers modes.
