Enhancement: Options to change the hotkeys and mouse actions.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Looking for an opportunity to change the hot keys and the reaction to the mouse.

Different people are comfortable different keyboard shortcuts. Also, many 
people use a variety of programs which cover a combination of the player. For 
example in compiz F9 toggles the desktop, because of this, in the player does 
not work switch playlist:( Maybe change this hotkey to L(load)?

For the mouse must be able to choose the function wheel between rewind the file 
and volume control. For the middle button set function mute

I've lost the idea while translating:) L-key can be added to Open folder or as 
alias to Open file. and to togle playlist can be used P-key instead of the 
pause(almost always use space-key).

P is the key that mplayer has a default map for, so I wanted to keep that 
common key.
Ctrl - L is already mapped to Open Location

I run compiz on my desktop and F9 does not toggle the desktop for me. Perhaps 
it is a local setting.

As for the mouse wheel, if you hover the mouse over the volume control it 
alters the volume and if you put it over the tracker that is changed. So I 
believe everything is working as designed and expected.

In compiz enable Widget layer plugin. It use F9 by default.

I know about hover in volume control, but this is not convenient, especially in 
full screen mode. Volume icon is small, because you need to spend extra time to 
bring it to adjust. But then why use the wheel when the cursor is already on 
the controller, and you can click to change the volume?

The interface should be not only convenient but also intuitive. Vertical 
movement of the wheel associated with an increase / decrease the volume. And 
not with a horizontal file navigation. Also wheel button doubles up / down, 
left / right. Цould be more logical
Wheel / Up / Down - volume
left / right / wheel with modifier - Rewind

And how about toggle Mute by mouse middle click?

Middle click now toggles mute... still not sure about the other request. Those 
features went in by request, so not sure that I should change them now.

I would also like the mouse scroll to ajust the volume. Would you be able to at 
least add the option to pick between the volume and file nav?

I agree it would be great being able to edit the default shortcuts. Like other 
programs that have a "shortcuts" tab in the preferences window. And also the 
option to choose the action of the scroll wheel (volume or seek). I would also 
like if I could set how many seconds the seeking buttons jump: short jump (left 
and right arrows) and long jump (up and down arrows).

All that can be achieved with mplayer through a configuration file. Maybe an 
easy way would be being able to select your custom configuration file 
(input.conf) in gnome-mplayer.

I support this because I want to be able to use [s] for screenshots again, not 
the very complex [ctrl]+[t] combination.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the s key will trigger a screenshot

The menu states CTRL+T but you are right, [s] works as expected. i was affected 
by the other bug, the one about non-english keyboard layouts.

Many of the default hotkeys for mplayer work in gnome-mplayer as well. I'm 
still investigating how to map custom keys.

I cannot agree more. It will be more convenient if the file "input.conf" used 
by mplayer can be used in gnome-mplayer as well.

In the current SVN code, I have created a method for altering the keyboard 
accelerators in Edit->Preferences. I have not had enough feedback on this 
feature to know if I should continue doing more keys. So if you could test, it 
would be appreciated.

I also like the input.conf idea. I don't change too many keys in mplayer, but 
there's a few things I like to add, like mapping '=' to + so I don't have to 
hit shift to adjust the audio delay. I know you're working on some stuff for 
1.0.5, but I'm not sure how far that'll go, if you'd allow mplayer commands 
right in there or if it's more for UI stuff. With the current setup the only 
way I can map = to + is by adding GDK_equal to the cases in gui.c and 
libgmtk/gtk_media_player.c.

The problem I see with input.conf is being able to handle the different types 
of values since it's not always just a key, but sometimes identifiers like 
MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN3_DBL. Of course mplayer has alot of builtins that 
aren't specified in your input.conf and I'm not seeing a global input.conf 
anywhere, so that's another issue. You'd really almost have to copy their 
defaults and possibly exclude some keys if they interfere with builtins or 
change the builtins. Beyond all that it may not be too difficult to keep an 
array of sorts to iterate over on keypress... Maybe it's more a matter of 
deciding which has priority, mplayer or UI, and fallback to the other if the 
lookup fails for the primary.

I too would like to see configurable keyboard shortcuts. My personal preference 
is to control volume with up/down keys and seek in five minute steps or so with 
C-Left and C-Right

I have made some keys changable in the 1.0.5 release. If this works well let me 
know and I'll add more keys to the list.
