`A->B loop` not in list of `Actions` under `Configure Hotkeys` -- can't set global hotkey

[Eoghanar]

$ vlc -v
VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1~trusty1)

There seems to be a hidden default hotkey for this, shift-L, which only works when the vlc window and specifically the toolbar is focused.

But I need to set a global hotkey so I can use it when other windows like my pdf viewer have focus.

But `A->B loop` is not in the list of `Actions` under `Configure Hotkeys`. (I read through the whole list.)

Is this a bug?
