Description

So I like to use different keybindings for different N64 games like SM64 and OOT so they are more suited to how I play those. Also I play a lot of OOT multiworld with my brother which require two emulators open at the same time, however since it's the same emulator only one set of controls stay saved so I have to take some time to remap all controls again. It would just be a lot more convenient if in the misc tab there was a option to save and load from a file that has the keybindings I want in them.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the keybinding settings and the Misc tab UI, then determine how separate saved sets would be selected. Done means users can save and load distinct keybindings for different games or simultaneous emulator instances.
