  • Add tabs like Favorites and Recently Played for better organization.

2. Key Bind Customization & Warnings

• Some keybinds cause unexpected behavior (e.g., pressing F7 crashes the game).
• Suggestion:
  • Add a disclaimer: "Key binds may interfere with game functions (e.g., skipping cutscenes, hiding UI, saving, pausing, closing the game). Please adjust key binds accordingly."
  • Allow custom keybind presets for each game.
  • Display a pop-up showing default keybinds and their functions.
