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 playing video, holding down the Apple key and pressing the F key enters and exits fullscreen. When in fullscreen you can also use the escape key to exit the fullscreen state.
- When playing video, holding the Apple and Shift keys and pressing the left/right arrow keys, jumps the video backward/forward about a minute.
- When playing video, holding the Apple and Ctrl keys and pressing the left/right arrow keys, jumps the video backward/forward about ten seconds.
- 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
A streaming wizard is available since the VLC media player 0.8.4 release.
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].
No Dock
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.
When transcoding, clivlc should be used if running VLC from the command line crashes with a Bus error.
