shutdown hotkey combination

[jostie94]

hi guys,

i did not get my hands on a Safe Shutdown switch so i was wonder if it is possible to set a hotkey combination to shutdown the Raspberry Pi.
In Retropie you already have such different hotkeys like,
start + select = exit emulator
Select + Right Shoulder = save state
is it possible to edit these hotkey combinations or to create a new one to shutdown the raspberry pi?

thanks!

Hotkeys is a Retroarch thing so it doesn't work system wide in Emulation Station. Your options are to shutdown through the emulation station menu or you could also add a dedicated button to do the same through a gpio and a script. One other option is creating a "Power" console within emulation station that invokes a shutdown script which makes it a bit faster to get to than the built in es shutdown.

I think we must ask @kite about this - weeks ago I've found his video about GBZ with SAIO board inside, and there he controlled wifi and brightness with hotkeys.

Yes he is using the atmega chip which talks with the pi but he still uses an extra button for the hot key.
