Description

I'd like to request the ability to assign "Undo Load State" to a hotkey button.

I've been using auto save / auto load state more, and I'm really enjoying it.

But there are times when I don't want a game to auto load a state- so being able to press a hotkey to undo that auto load would be really handy.

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by locating RetroArch's auto-load-state handling and the existing hotkey/action mappings. Determine how a hotkey could invoke Undo Load State, then verify that assigning it lets users reverse an unwanted auto-loaded state without disrupting normal state loading.
