There is also the realization SCROLL LOCK key doesn't exist on Mac or most laptop keyboards. I remap the Toggle UI Controls to SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN on PC but again, PRINT SCREEN doesn't exist on MAC. Then we have the accidental exit by pressing the ESC key (or the unavailable option because no one finds SCROLL LOCK if you start up with default options). We also have the part most old personal computers have keys don't exist anymore and are unmapped because MAME so far doesn't have an on screen keyboard option. That would be a pain too because of the regional layouts.
