Special Keys

Postby N00b » 18 May 2009 09:14

Is there a way to set up the special keys with VLC? I am running VLC media player 1.0.0-pre1 Goldeneye on ubuntu 9.04. I have the Logitech Wave keyboard and the media keys work fine with rhythmbox, I wanted to know if there is a way to set them up with VLC.

Edit...

I tried the hot key settings in preferences but it wont pick up the special keys.

You always have messages, just ask them with messages dialog, with verbosity set to 2.
