Keyboard Shortcuts
You can find most of the keyboard shortcuts by taking a look at the menus. Additional hotkeys are defined in the section "Hotkeys" of your VLC preferences.
Some handy key combo's are:
- You can use the spacebar to start/pause the video.
- When in fullscreen you can use the escape key to exit the fullscreen state
- When you are watching a DVD and the video window is the front-most window you can use the arrow keys and the enter key to navigate the DVD menus.
Streaming Wizard
There doesn't seem to be any way to access the streaming wizard in the MacOSX version of VLC. In order to stream you have to use the Advanced Settings in the Open... dialogue box. The Streaming wizard will be present in the 0.8.4 release for MacOSX. Have a preview with the nightly builds.
Command line
You can run VLC on Mac OS X using a terminal application (for example Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities) with the following command: ./VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC [your options, "--intf=rc" for example]. Note that you can replace the "VLC" at the end of the path with "clivlc" to suppress the launch of any Mac-like interface. VLC won't even appear in the Dock then.
