Left mouse click for play/pause

Postby vvch » 24 Oct 2011 13:04

Is it possible to make VLC player switch play/pause state by left mouse click on picture (along with default SPACE key), like in most other players?
Sorry if it is a dumb question, but I didn't find this possibility in preferences (Qt interface, MS Windows).

No. This would break DVD and Matroska menu navigation that already uses the left click.

How do you know that there is no navigation menu and no filters relying on mouse clicks? Currently, there are no such provisions.

You're more than welcome to provide patches when the VLC 1.3 development starts.
