MAME Single Player Controller - TAB or P Key????

Hi Guys

Newbie on here and just doing some final mapping on a new single player controller - 15 buttons - most of which are pretty self-explanatory, but......

Got to make a decision on the function map key allocation and I am down to the last button - which do you consider the most important

P Key
TAB Key

15 buttons are allocated as

4 - Joystick
1 - 1P Start
6 - B1-B6
1 - ENTER
1 - Coin 1
1 - ESC

Which leaves me one more - your opinions will be greatly appreciated - thanks

This is not a sales plug and as our own forums are a couple of weeks away I thought I would ask in the best possible place - cheers

You can map pause and menu in MAME to require multiple buttons to be pressed simultaneously.
You don't have to choose between them.

I'd map the single button to pause and map the tab menu to require multiple keys so other people don't screw things up.

Yes I am happy with combo keys for mapping - just trying to keep this as simple as possible for the newbies to MAME - I was going down the line of Pause but just wanted some extra input  - thanks for that
BadMouth:
looking at the controller, there are 8 player buttons, but you only mention 6.
I assume you're going to have the bottom two mapped to one of the other things.

Consider moving them elsewhere on the CP if they aren't going to be action buttons, especially the one mapped to ESC.
dgame:
If this is for MAME using the "confirm_quit 1" option in mame.ini give you a free pause when you press escape. Try it.
