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").

 >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!

 > 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)
