Assign Multiple Hotkeys to One Function

[CloudStalker]

Will it be possible to use more then one hotkey for the same function, like media button Pause/Play as well as space-bar to (duh) pause and play the video/song?

It will be ... hopefully before 0.9.0 is released. (code word for this is "hotkey rework")

That's great! I'm usually fine using the media keys at the top of my keyboard but not everyone in my... domain is.

I think we still can't assign multiple keys to one function. Can we?

I need it...

Not yet.

I saw that is now posible to have multiple keys (as is by default) but I can't find how to set multiple keys myself

I am currently using version 2.1.5 and I was just wondering if this feature was ever added?
If so can someone please explain how to do so.
If not this feature request would be quite useful in a future version.

Thank You

I'm interested in this feature as well. I can tell that the GUI still doesn't support this feature, but I'm wondering if there are any other tricks one might use.
For instance, is there any way to tweak the VLC config files to achieve this?

If anyone is interested, a solution that seems to work on Windows is AutoHotkey.

Here's an example:
I'd like to map the h, j, k and l keys to the arrows (like Vim), but only for vlc.exe.
I use the following configuration file:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_exe vlc.exe h::send, {left} ; Makes the 'h' key send a left-arrow key, but only in VLC. j::send, {down} k::send, {up} l::send, {right} #IfWinActive
