Media player hotkeys?

Post by *Woailizhi »

Hello,
I press CTRL+Q in a dir to enable previewing, but when the audio is playing, are there any shortcut to manipulate the player?

With best regards,
Nuno.

You can press Tab, then PageUp/PageDown can be used to jump through the file. SPACEBAR should also work for play/pause, but it currently only works in F3. I will add it.

Currently I can play DirectShow video only in full Lister window, while MCI player provides standard sizes. Will you provide standard video sizes for DirectShow player: 50%, 100%, 200%? Many players use Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 hotkeys for these sizes.

Currently it's not planned. These functions were from a time when videos had the size of letter stamps. Modern videos from phones or the Internet are usually so big that the window would be too big even at 100%.

You can use similar reasons to remove F, L, C hotkeys for image viewing. It's nonsense.

Good day,
I use 9.22a. I listen to mp3 audio for language learners.
I need keyboard commands for for following:
=======================+=
pause/play (space)
skip back/forward (arrow keys)
loop play selection start ([)
loop play selection end (])
loop play cancel (\)
next/previous media file (PageDown/PageUp)
=======================+=
Most of all I value simplicity and convenience, so I would like to avoid using some advanced media player, Lister in its present form is great.
Thanks and stay safe.
:^)

Yes, there is a volume slider on the right side.
next/previous media file (PageDown/PageUp)
The n and p keys will do that in Ctrl+Q, or in Lister when you have loaded multiple files.
