The VideoLAN Forums

ok, i hope this is the right forum. i'm a little tired this morning and i didn't see anywhere else to put this.

i was hoping that you can put in a hotkey to minimize vlc. it's good that you can pause and get out of full screen but you still have the main window in the way. there are times, as in your supervisor walks by your desk, that you want to be able to pause and then minimize the player without having to get to the mouse. i really do love the hotkeys you have so far and how they are laid out, it's just that i would like to see this one added as well.

thanks,

maybe the requests forum?

as a less direct alternative you can accomplish it this way on windows:

get the window focus to vlc: bring up the window system menu: and choose minimize:

ahh, thanks for the direction. although your solution wasn't exactly what i was looking for.

i'm talking about when you have vlc in full screen mode. using the alt+space alt+n method i would first have to do space to pause then f to get out of full screen to get to the window with the menus, then use the alt functions. where as with a minimize key you could cut that down to space for pause and then the minimize key.

i will move my thread to the other section though. can someone move this thread to the request section or just delete for me?
