[Global.*] for .ini configuration

Post by nazakomu »

is there a possibility that we can have a global config prefix where whatever is used works globally instead of having to prefix it game-specifically?
an example would be [Global.Bindings] instead of [Doom.Bindings]
the reason for this is so it saves you lots of work from having to supersede every other game's bindings, aliases, and whatever else you need to replace

If that gets added it'd be read only, i.e. you'd have to create it manually in a text editor to be used.

It would still save a lot of time, though - because all you have to do is rename [Doom.Bindings] to [Global.Bindings], run Doom, and GZDoom will copy it into a new [Doom.Bindings] section for you - and after that, the same bindings will appear in every other game, particularly the custom IWADs you haven't played yet, which I think is itself the crux of the problem this suggestion is trying to nail.

Personally, I think there should be an option to copy the current game's configuration to the global namespace, instead.
