<div>VLC Global Hotkeys are shortcuts you can use even if VLC does not have the focus. Here is how to configure Global Hotkeys:<br />
<br />
*Tools, Preferences, HotKeys. <br />
*Under the '''Global''' column, double-click the value corresponding to the function you want a global key assigned to. <br />
*Press the key or key combination you want<br />
*Click Apply<br />
*Click Save<br />
<br />
You will have to quit and restart VLC for the new assignments to be effective.<br />
<br />
To unset/clear a global hotkey:<br />
Proceed as if you wanted to set a new key, but press the pause/break key.<br />
