Would it be possible to add "Boss Mode"

Hi i have recently tried a new media called the KMPlayer only due to the fact that it has a lovely little feature called Boss Mode.
What it does is if you press a certain sequence of keys or a mouse button the the whole media player is instantly paused sent to the tray as an icon.
This comes in very handy at work. i have always recommended Vlc as it is a very versatile media player with excellent features.
If possible i would like to see this in the future release as it is very handy indeed.
BTW: I am now back using Vlc due to KMPlayer screwing up my Codecs.
Keep up the good work
Eddie

No bosskey is mentioned in Hotkey. So no.

But is it very hard to add cause, it's so useful for bad people like me watching a movie at the office and have sometime this need to go back to their duty very VERY VERY fast (if you see what I men
).
For example in Mpc I've set the boss key to the Space bar and it's very efficient believe me
. But in my house I'm a VLC user I really would like to be able to use it everywhere.
So my question, do you think about it for the future of VLC?
See you

Allright, at interface settings there's an option to make VLC's playback pause when minimized.
But why isn't there a single key to minimize VLC? There's no such command at "Configure Hotkeys" section of VLC preferences.

There is now a boss key, in preferences. Set it.
