Please note that this is NOT fixed yet. Admin, any word? This is highly annoying.

Not a major request? Have you tried browsing media stored on a computer only to have to rebrowse to the folder containing your files each and every time you use the open file dialog? This was supposedly fixed, as stated above by the administrator, yet none of the nightly, trunk or RC builds include ...

Any info admin?

Is it fixed? I have been using 1.0 RC1, RC2 and various nightly builds and it does not appear to be fixed.... This is HIGHLY annoying.

Is this still an option in 1.0? I am testing 1.0 RC and see no option for GHK's.

Wow, thanks for that reply! Very helpful. I already put that in my original post. Is there any reason why the author chooses to ignore bugs like this? You know what, forget it, I am gone. KMPlayer here I come

So, any word on this? .96 is out and still no fix. This is highly annoying and I think I will have to move away from videolan as this costs me far too much time to browse back through my folders to get back to the last used one.

Can anyone tell me if this made it to commit on v 0.92?

The nightlies have GHK support? Odd, I just tested every single one of them in global hotkey mode and it failed to work. But as is said when you install, no support is given to these so I guess I am going to have to wait until this becomes final to expect support for it. YEAY!

Do we have any further news on this item being added?

Can we get an eta? This thread has been open since March of 2006 (2 years) and if it isnt planned for the near future I am switching my company to another player. Thanks

How does one make these hotkeys global? Having to focus VLC everytime I want to fast forward, open files, quit the app is a pain in the butt.

Is there any news on this being added? I would love to be able to not have to swap apps just to scroll through a video/song.

I have two quick questions that I cant seem to figure out about VLC.

1. How do you set VLC to remain "Always on top"?

2. How do you setup a hotkey for the "Quick open file" function?

Thanks for your help!
