Add Hotkey to Lua Script

Hello, I have downloaded a LUA script that removes the current playing video from playlist and also from hard disk. This is the addon:
https://addons.videolan.org/content/sho ... ent=167857
Is there any way to assign a hotkey (like shift+del) to activate that script and remove the video?
Thank you!

No. Old VLC 2.0.x supports callbacks in Lua scripts, but the extensions need to be activated manually in VLC menu.

Hotkeys cannot be defined by plugins in general, and therefore not by Lua scripts.

There is still quite the interest in this feature.
What is the current status?

I would also like this feature.
Windows only: you can install vlc-delete and AutoHotKey v1 and use this script to trigger the menu item (as though you typed `alt+i,r`) to the shortcut `ctrl+delete`:
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive ahk_exe vlc.exe
^Delete::
SendInput {Blind}{Ctrl up}{Delete up}
SendInput {Blind}{Alt down}{i down}{i up}{r down}{r up}{Alt up}

This is fundamentally incompatible with the inner workings of the VLC plugin cache, which is all but indispensable on Windows (due to the incredibly stupid design of Windows DLLs).
VLC can't fix Windows so unless somebody finds a way to substitute the VLC plugin cache, this is not going to be supported.
