Some hotkeys do not work

[Dirkk]

Some short cuts / hotkeys do not work (not global), e.g. the ones for setting bookmarks (Ctrl+F1...) and for going to a bookmark (F1...). And I cannot set / change hotkeys in "Hotkeys", when I try to add / change a hotkey (entering the new short cut) anything happens.

What could I do?

Looks like some might be already used by another app or even the OS itself.
There are some free hotkeys checkers available, pick one and check your system. But at the end you may have to use a different keys combination than the one you have planned to use.

OK, thank you, Lotesdelere.

Yes, I am aware of that, but I cannot enter any hotkey, regardless of which one I try to enter (for testing) in "Preferences", "Hotkeys". By double clicking the...oh no, I made a mistake I see now as I am trying again...I thought I have to enter the hotkey by clicking the hotkey line and then enter it, but I have to double click it and then enter in the popped up window....I will going on trying...

...sorry, many thanks for helping.

...which portable short cut checker would you recommend?

As I see now, I cannot set any new shortcut, which works with the bookmarks, it is not possible to create a bookmark using the one of the new shortcuts. And the shortcut checker I tried didn' t work either.

I remember I've used shortcutkeys.exe years ago but I have no idea if it's still up to date, especially on new OSes like Seven and x64, so don't quote me on that.

Or maybe you have something creating troubles with the Qt4 interface, like a tablet drivers ?

Thanks for the link, I will try...it works with Win 7, also. Didn' t find any shortcut...can that be the truth...?..I cannot imagine...

Code: Select all

I don not assume, never heard of Qt4, but I think I do not have it on my system, I do not use any tablets.

HI, did you eventually managed to bookmark? I'm also puzzled.

I found this http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... interfaces
"
% vlc --key-<function> <code>

Code is composed by modifiers keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl, Meta,Command) separated by a dash (-) and terminated by a key (a...z, +, =, -, ',', +, <, >, `, /, ;, ', \, [, ], *, Left, Right, Up, Down, Space, Enter, F1...F12, Home, End, Menu, Esc, Page Up, Page Down, Tab, Backspace, Mouse Wheel Up and Mouse Wheel Down). Main controls are available from hotkeys, such as : fullscreen, play-pause, faster, slower, next, prev, stop, quit, vol-up, etc. (use the --longhelp option for full list of functions).

For example, for binding fullscreen to Ctrl-f, run:
% vlc --key-fullscreen 'Ctrl-f'

Sorry, any idea, alas.

It could be a spammer.

HI, let me now take this opportunity and ask why no answer to the initial question. especially i posted a similar problem in another topic the same withoout answer, and it seems something strictly basic regarding VCL.
