Fine Speed Control Unavailable with Spanish Keyboard

Postby VLC22 » 24 Aug 2023 16:41

Hello. I have recently had to switch from using an English keyboard to a Spanish keyboard and now cannot find any way to change the speed in "fine" steps (1.1x, etc.). With a Spanish keyboard, to type the square brackets, [ and ], which control fine speed control, it is necessary to hold down Alt Gr (Alternative Graphic) whilst pressing the key.

It seems that VLC is incapable of receiving a key that requires Alt Gr in the main video screen. Alt Gr works fine when typing comments into the meta data, for example. This is annoying bug since I need to make fine adjustments to the speed control regularly whilst watching lectures, etc.

Things work fine if I switch my keyboard layout to English, even with the same physical keyboard.

For now I've reassigned new hotkeys (using Q and Shift + Q) and it works fine.

I'm using VLC 3.0.18.

How do we get this fixed? Thanks.


Now some in Spanish for any search engines:

Recientemente tuve que pasar de usar un teclado en inglés a uno en español y ahora no encuentro ninguna manera de cambiar la velocidad en pasos "finos" (1.1x, etc.). Con un teclado español, para escribir los corchetes, [ y ], que controlan el control fino de velocidad, es necesario mantener presionado Alt Gr (Gráfico alternativo) mientras presiona la tecla.

Parece que VLC es incapaz de recibir una clave que requiera Alt Gr en la pantalla de video principal. Alt Gr funciona bien al escribir comentarios en los metadatos, por ejemplo. Este es un error molesto ya que necesito hacer ajustes precisos al control de velocidad con regularidad mientras veo conferencias, etc. ¿Existe alguna solución alternativa y cómo podemos lograr que se arregle?
