I'm attempting to play Alley Cat with a controller. To exit the game, you press CTRL-F9. I've verified this works fine with a keyboard. However, I can't seem to come up with a way to map that to a controller button or buttons.
First attempt was to put definitions like this into the mapper file:
key_lctrl "stick_0 button 6"
key_f9 "stick_0 button 6"
Binding a single button to both LCTRL and F9. This doesn't work to exit the game. So I tried the next logical step:
key_lctrl "stick_0 button 6"
key_f9 "stick_0 button 8"
Binding LCTRL to one button and F9 to another, then pressing them together. This also doesn't work to exit.
So I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding what I've read about these kinds of combinations, or if maybe there is something special about CTRL and/or function keys?
