This PR refactors keyboard handling to use physical key mappings for all gameplay input, ensuring controls remain consistent across different OS keyboard layouts.
I'd like to give out an ENORMOUS thank you to @Neo for his very generous help on getting MacOS caps lock behaviour working, but as well for taking the time for extensive testing, planning and discussions, and finally for writing this PR message :) Keep being awsome pal 👊
### New Features :
* **New**: Gameplay input now uses physical key positions instead of OS layouts, ensuring the same physical key triggers the same action across keyboard layouts.
* Key rebinding stores physical keys and config compatibility is preserved, with physical keys now the primary gameplay‑binding format.
* Physical‑key model is now consistent across platforms, including updated SDL/headless behavior.
* **Added**: New Input setting "Reset keybinds to default", with a new confirmation dialog appears when changes are being overwritten.
* **Fractured**: Keyboard‑related locales to the newly created `KeyboardLayout.json`.
* New input device settings/actions use clearer labels and tooltips.
* UI Key Labels (such as Left Shift and Right Shift) are more accurate and standardized, with clearer symbols, consistent naming, dynamic learning of printable labels from real key events, and persistence across restarts.
### Improvements :
* **Reduced**: Incorrect key labels by using observed host symbols instead of language assumptions.
* **Reduced**: Stuck/stale keys by using binary pressed‑key tracking, fixing rebinding/gameplay paths, better held‑key recovery after focus changes, and clearing keyboard state when Ryujinx/settings windows lose focus.
* **Improved**: Device handling → refreshing no longer clears the selector, disconnect fallback is consistent, reconnect restores controllers automatically, and the UI avoids invalid/empty device states.
* **Improved**: Async input‑assignment callbacks are now guarded when switching views/devices, preventing stale callbacks from hitting detached views.
* **Adjusted**: Input visualiser to be more robust when switching sources or handling controller disconnect/reconnect, without needing to reopen settings.
* **Improved**: Modification (changes to input controls) tracking
* Rebinding to the same value, reverting to original config, restoring defaults without differences, or reloading equivalent profiles no longer leaves Player marked as modified.
* **Reduced**: Keyboard LED noise in logs and added optional UI keyboard‑state/rebinding diagnostics.
### Fixes :
* **Special Keys**:
* AltGr and other special keys behave correctly, including proper Ctrl+Alt → AltRight handling and more consistent normalization of special/synthetic keys.
* Caps Lock is now reliably bindable on all platforms (Windows/Linux register every press; macOS every other).
* **Fixed**: Certain cases where keyboard input broke after pointer interactions
### Current Limitations
These are planned on being fixed/improved upon in future PRs:
* Hotkeys still use semantic (Key) mappings.
* Software keyboard / text input still uses the semantic path
* Printable key labels may fall back to defaults until observed from host input.
* Full semantic/physical split currently implemented only in the Avalonia driver.

Ayyyy, welcome to the UI: Actions Menu → General Improvements PR!
We are soooo back boys and girls.
This is the first PR in a series aimed at delivering the largest overhaul and set of improvements to the Actions menu yet.
This initial PR introduces smaller visual and navigation improvements as part of the broader Actions menu refresh, while also serving as the starting point for locale fracturing across the entirety of Ryujinx. As this is a series of progressive PRs, bug fixes and additional refinements will continue to be rolled out throughout the series.
### GENERAL:
* **Fractured:** A bunch of locales. The following new files, and their designations, were created:
* `MenuBar_Actions.json` - all UI-related locales for the `Actions` menu
* `MenuBar_File.json` - all UI-related locales for the `File` menu
* `Dialog_Firmware.json` - all firmware-related dialog locales
* `Dialog_Keys.json` - all keys-related dialogs locales
* `Error.json` - all error-related locales
* `StatusBar.json` - all UI-related locales for the Status Bar
**NOTE:** To keep this PR manageable, `MenuBar_File.json`, `Error.json`, and `StatusBar.json` were NOT populated with their locales. Additionally, `RenderDoc.json` was deleted and all of its locales were moved to `MenuBar_Actions.json` because all RenderDoc locales are present only in the `Actions` menu.
* **Fixed:** Some typos in `Locales.md`.
### **DEFAULT ACTIONS:**
* **Added:** File picker dialog titles for `Install Firmware` and `Install Keys`.
* `Install Firmware`: "Select an XCI file or a ZIP archive to install firmware from" and "Select a folder to install firmware from".
* `Install Keys`: "Select a KEYS file to install keys from" and "Select a folder to install keys from".
* **Improved:** `Install Firmware` and `Install Keys` submenus.
* Submenus no longer have periods before file extensions; this avoids visual issues in right‑to‑left languages matches other emulators using uppercase extensions (e.g. `Install Firmware` → `Install Firmware (.XCI or .ZIP)` is now `Install Firmware` → `Install Firmware (XCI or ZIP)`).
* Submenus no longer repeat the main menu title; they now show only the specific option, making navigation cleaner (e.g. `Install Firmware` → `Install Firmware (XCI or ZIP)` is now `Install Firmware` → `XCI or ZIP`).
* Submenus now end with an ellipsis; this follows UI conventions that signal additional user input is required (e.g. `Install Firmware` → `XCI or ZIP...`).
* **Moved:** `Manage File Types` menu and submenu.
* These menus let Windows and Linux users associate formats like .xci and .nsp with the emulator so they can be opened by double‑clicking. macOS already handles this automatically when an app supports the format.
* Since this PR focuses on the `Actions` menu, this menu and its submenus have been moved under `File`, with their locales relocated to the new `MenuBar_File.json`.
* This menu is useful but currently too vague about its purpose. A later PR will refine and clarify it.
* **Improved:** `Mii Editor`
* Removed the `Mii Editor` tooltip, as the menu was already self‑explanatory.
* The loading text for the `Mii Editor` is now locale-dynamic, instead of the previously static "miiEdit".
### **IN-GAME ACTIONS:**
* **Updated:** Menu grouping with separators (see images below)
* **Renamed:** `Resume` to `Resume Emulation` and `Pause` to `Pause Emulation`, ensuring consistency with the other options.
* **Fixed:** `Pause Emulation`/`Resume Emulation` UI Bug
* Previously, if a user paused emulation and then exited the game without closing the emulator, the next game launch would incorrectly show `Resume Emulation`, as though the new game were paused.
* **Updated:** `Scan Amiibo` and `Scan Skylander` icons to a chess rook and dragon, making them clearer and more fun than the previous cubes.
* **Added:** Shortcut for `Simulate Wake-up Message`
* Few games support it, but an in‑game shortcut still helps players who use it often.
* **Removed:** `Manage Cheats` from the menu
* `Manage Cheats` doesn't properly work in-game right now, and is removed in this PR. It will be returned to later in Part 4.

Did you know that the garbage collector's default settings are designed for single-threaded applications and quick start-up times? We don't care about either of these.
Configured:
- Concurrent GC (default is true) (set for clarity)
- RetainVM: segments that should be deleted are put on a standby list for future use (default is false)
- QuickJit: enabling quick JIT decreases startup time but can produce code with degraded performance characteristics; for example, the code may use more stack space, allocate more memory, and run slower. (default is true) (disabled)
- ReadyToRun: configures whether the .NET runtime uses pre-compiled code for images with available ReadyToRun data; disabling this option forces the runtime to JIT-compile framework code. (default is true) (set to false, we dont publish with this option anyway)
- TieredPGO: this setting enables dynamic (tiered) profile-guided optimization (PGO) in .NET 6 and later versions. If quick JIT is disabled but tiered compilation is enabled, only pre-compiled code participates in tiered compilation. If a method is not pre-compiled with ReadyToRun, the JIT behavior is the same as if tiered compilation were disabled.
Features:
- Set ``GCLatencyMode.Interactive`` when in-menu and emulator is paused, otherwise uses ``GCLatencyMode.LowLatency``.
- Added a new UI option in the Settings > CPU menu to toggle ``GCLatencyMode.LowLatency`` during guest runtime.

- Added Onedrive folder check for Windows.
- Added iCloud and Downloads folder checks for macOS.
- Added sudo checks for macOS/Linux.
- Added dialogue prompts for macOS/Linux.
- Added unofficial build warning for detected Flatpak install.
These checks have console fallbacks in case the GUI decides it doesn't want to work that day.

This PR aims to Fix the Windows fullscreen gap when toggling from maximized state by using canonical Win32 fullscreen approach. When entering fullscreen, the window style is saved and replaced with WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE to remove all window chrome (title bar, borders), then SetWindowPos sizes the window to cover the full screen with SWP_FRAMECHANGED to force Win32 to recalculate the frame. On exit, the original window style is restored. This eliminates the few-pixel gap at the top that occurred because Avalonia's WindowState = FullScreen transition from a maximized state retained the title bar non-client area, leaving visible space at the top of the screen (Fullscreen resolution would be 1920 x 1072p on a 1080p monitor, it now correctly renders at 1920 x 1080p)

Implemented a new debug log type called NetLog and added more verbose logging to the LDN service.
I'd like some feedback on what all should be logged under this category -- I'm likely going to be adding logs for sockets as well, but I want to know specifically if the logging should be more or less verbose and what would be the most helpful things to log.

When connecting multiple controllers of the same model, the first device's name ends with (0), the second with (1), the third with (1), the fourth with (1), and so on. To ensure these names are truly unique, GetUniqueGamepadName is now called recursively.

This PR addresses [Ryubing/Issues#345](https://github.com/Ryubing/Issues/issues/345) by fixing the Windows console hide/show path so it only acts on Ryujinx’s own console window instead of whatever window happens to be focused during startup. Previously, when Show Console was disabled, the helper could race with focus changes and end up affecting another app or shell window while leaving the console visible; this change removes that foreground-window dependency and keeps the startup behavior scoped to the Ryujinx console.
