Feature request: controller auto configuration

Is there any way that I can force retroarch to auto configure a device when it starts for the first time?
I’m coming from a retropie and when you attach a gamepad or other controller it has you configure the inputs. Now, I’m on an Android box that freezes on the first screen. I cannot do anything with the provided remote control, nor with my Rii 8+, nor my logitech keyboard (both 2.4ghz).
Now I have a new usb controller and I can go up, down, left and right, but still none of the 8 other buttons do anything that allow me to “hit enter.”

Can anyone help? or can a feature be added that auto runs the config controller script?

Thanks for reading!
