Suggestion: Key for capping/uncapping emulator frame rate for game speedup

Lot of games have long loading times and you cant do much there without risking to break them completely. Why not simple as in mame, you press key and emulator start running game fast as your cpu can do, and you press it again to get back to normal when you are done. Maybe like floppy speed , you can set desired percent of speedup, from 10% till 800% or unlimited

Sounds similar to the already implmented "Warp mode" i.e: <End> + <Pause> to toggle on / off

You can map one yourself if you really want via the "Input" panel

Example, <F11> as "Warp mode":

Unfortunately it is not possible to have "better" default/built-in short cuts. Amiga has almost same keyboard layout as PC keyboards (PC has few keys more). It is not a game console.
