The VideoLAN Forums

Hello all,

I used to be able to skip back and forward using my teo little mouse buttons by the thumb. Since I reinstalled windows and got the latest VLC: 1.1.5 - they no longer seem to work. I had a look around in the settings and found what I think is the associated command in 'hotkeys'. It's the 'Medium forwards jump' and 'medium backwards jump'. Although I had never given instructions to VLC to assign these buttons, I had always liked this feature.

I can move to Firefox and the mouse buttons work perfectly, so I have ruled out a fault with the mouse. Has there been a change in the latest version? Does anyone know how I can assign a mouse button, rather than keystrokes, in the Hotkeys settings?

Thanks a lot if you can help!

You cannot bind mouse keys via hotkeys. If you know what keycodes those mouse buttons send, it would help.

The shortcuts in VLC are ALT+left arrow and ALT+right arrow. I don't know how they got assigned in the past, because I definitely never did that manually. But in previous installations the mouse buttons used to work.
