View submission: Winuae restart shortcut
Well, have to be a bit careful here. Note the real Amiga hardware rough equivalent of the infamous PC Ctrl+Alt+Del just was Ctrl+LeftAmiga+RightAmiga.
It's just thus pretty usual to just map the two PC keyboard "Windows" keys (often called "Super" keys on Linux) to the two Amiga keys (whether in emulation or using an adapter to connect a modern pc keyboard to a real amiga). So the reason it's Ctrl+LeftWindows+RightWindows is because you're sending a Ctrl+LeftAmiga+RightAmiga to an emulated Amiga, at least notionally.
It's not that way because it's some arbitrary shortcut the emulator guys added later, it's what Amiga folks naturally use.
Now, in the end AFAIK you CAN arbitrarily remap any typical UAE fork's physical host keyboard -> emulated amiga keyboard mapping (not to be confused with intra-emulated-amiga keyboard mappings, amigas themselves like pcs of course had a number of different nationality physical keyboard layouts too!) however the heck you want (with work), but something to bear in mind.
Well, FS-UAE certainly allows/allowed complex remapping, WinUAE and Amiberry do handle input a bit differently but it's ...probably possible there too (well, absolute worst case you might need to modify source and recompile, but it's not going to be impossible...)

(FS-UAE also has its separate[1] Mod+R and Mod+T emulator-level keys for sending direct soft and hard resets, notionally distinct from sending keyboard Ctrl+LeftAmiga+RightAmiga to the emulated Amiga. WinUAE may have something similar, but whether *that* can be remapped I don't know)

Ok. I understand.
