Research direction
Examine PyBoy's main loop and window initialization in the codebase (likely using Pygame). Understand how keybindings are currently stored and used. Review the issue comments for specific feature requests. Design a simple settings window UI and integrate it into the existing Pygame event loop without breaking emulation.
