I watch a LOT of educational videos and make notes as I'm watching the video. To create the notes I use word on a 2nd monitor, to update my notes it is necessary for me to pause the video and I find it difficult to find the darn pause/play button in VLC. It would be so much easier to just click anywhere in the VLC window to pause/resume play. After searching the forum I see that over a few years others have commented on this missing function which makes me wonder why the developers have not implemented this function or at least commented on it (possibly they have).
I'm using VLC 2.2.4 on Win10 x64.
