What are the "standard" admin buttons used for MAME?

Well, I'm in the process of designing the CP layout, and was wondering what the general consensus was in regards to admin. buttons.

I'll be using MAMEwah as the front-end, and to save space, will have the admin buttons on the left-hand side of the panel (where the "pinball" buttons usually go).

I know of "TAB" (to go into MAME's options screen) and "ESC" to exit the game, and figured I'd use a dedicated button for the MAMEwah options screen (not sure which keyboard button to map to this though, as I am currently using a Logitech gamepad with L2 + R2 for this function)

I'll (eventually, when the funds allow) be ordering a pre-made 2-player CP from arcadesrfun, and wanted to have a design and layout ready when the time comes  ;)

Any and all suggestions, tips and guidelines would be most appreciated.  8)

Honestly, I have one admin button on my cabinet and it is on the back side of my control panel for TAB.  The rest of the admin buttons I either use a hidden keyboard, or have them programmed to shifted buttons on the I-PAC.

I have Exit and Pause, the rest are shifted.

Ditto, but I have 2 exit (in series) and 2 pause (in parallel) - 1 set on the left and 1 set on the right. Both exit buttons required to exit, and either pause button will pause. BTW, the series/parallel idea was the idea of someone else here in BYOAC - I don't claim credit for the idea. ;)

ESC and pause is all I seems to need when playing.  I have more that I can set up for other things but i have not needed them.  I am thinking an enter key bay be useful at times.
