hotkeys regardless of which UI element is focused.

Postby eneacasucci » 15 Sep 2024 23:24

Does VLC Media Player have a built-in feature or official plugin that allows for global hotkeys to skip 10 seconds of video regardless of which UI element is in focus?
Because I'd like to press a certain key and have the video go +10s or -10s without having to select the specific vlc window.

Set the hotkeys you want to use as global hotkeys.
