Description

Hi

For overlay creators it takes a lot of time to increase/decrease the screen settings to a specific value to center the screen on the overlay.

Would it be possible to let the user increase/decrease the screen settings faster when keeping the button pressed?

Please look at 12:00 minutes in this video.

It would also be very usefull to keep showing the bezel when you are in the screen settings menu, in order to see how to resize/move the emulator screen to the right size/position.

Thx a lot for reading!

Research direction

Start by locating RetroArch's screen settings UI and the controls shown around 12:00 in the linked video. Check how button presses currently change screen settings and how the bezel is rendered; done means held input changes values faster and the bezel remains visible while those settings are edited.
