#2495: [MediaPlayer] Pressing left/right arrows do unexpected things ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: diver | Owner: marcusoverhagen Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/MediaPlayer | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by diver): Replying to [comment:8 stippi]: > That leaves Cmd-J (which I consider unuseful bloat, since it's much easer to just drag the slider or even use the new left/right winding functionality) [[BR]] Agree. [[BR]][[BR]] > I don't think the mouse actions are useful either. Spacebar is much more intuitive and common for toggling play/pause [[BR]] If left mouse button is unused why don't assign some useful action to it. [[BR]][[BR]] > the middle mouse button to show/hide the interface may be somewhat unexpected. I think it's better to do such a potentially irritating action through a concious context menu invokation. [[BR]] It is hard to accidentally press middle mouse button, so I don't think it would irritate anyone. Currently it is very irritating when I try to open context menu and it somehow triggers "No interface" (which should also be renamed to "Hide interface"). [[BR]][[BR]] >That would leave the screenshot stuff and remembering of the last playing position (for movies) as the things I would like to implement before closing this ticket. Some new hotkeys: ||F||Full screen switch*[[BR]] ||Ctrl+1/2/3||Change aspect ratio (Stream settings/4:3/16:9)[[BR]] ||A||Cycle aspect ratios[[BR]] *I think it is useful to have a single key to toggle full screen.[[BR]][[BR]] Anyway MediaPlayer is much more usable now, thanks a lot! Replying to [comment:9 humdinger]: > ZXCVB as control shortcuts are OK, I guess (though a 1:1 parallel to the buttons, i.e. X toggles play/pause instead of X==play, C==pause). However, I always fear to accidentally hit V==Stop and thereby rewinding a clip to the start, never finding the exact time I left off so abruptly...[[BR]] [[BR]] I totally agree. I think we should get rid of Stop hotkey and make X toggles play/pause. Also all hotkeys should work in Playlist window as well (see #6562) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2495#comment:12> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
