Re: [hatari-devel] Fix for joy button 2 space key emulation "auto-fire"

[Eero Tamminen <oak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Based on discussion in the "Joystick jump/space setting" thread, I've 
now pushed this + patches enabling that option to all joysticks (as it 
could already be configured for all of them) and adding that option to 
SDL Joystick dialog + fixing some inconsistencies in CPU dialog looks 
(compared to other dialogs).

I've also updated documentation.  It did not earlier mention the "jump" 
option / functionality, nor button 3 acting (always) as autofire button.
