1. Pause/play by click on the video. This is a very convenient feature of most video players...
2. Force scroll wheel to be only for volume, no matter where the mouse is pointed on VLC. Another very convenient feature of other players, in full screen you don't have to show controls or aim at all, just move the mouse wheel . If I want to move forward or back in a movie, I click the progress bar thing, having the mouse wheel do that is really annoying.
