Can we add a hotkey to vlc-delete ?

I tried this in the past, but I found no way to do that. Feel free to modify, it's open source ;-)

It seems that it's not possible to use hotkeys, see https://forum.videolan.org/....

On Windows, you can install AutoHotKey v1 and use this script to trigger the menu item (as though you typed alt+i,r) to the shortcut ctrl+delete:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe vlc.exe
^Delete::
SendInput {Blind}{Ctrl up}{Delete up}
SendInput {Blind}{Alt down}{i down}{i up}{r down}{r up}{Alt up}

SendInput {Blind}{Alt down}{i down}{i up}{r down}{r up}{Alt up}

For AutoHotKey v2, you can use this one.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe vlc.exe")
^Delete:: {
    Send("{Blind}{Ctrl up}{Delete up}")
    Send("{Blind}{Alt down}{i down}{i up}{r down}{r up}{Alt up}")
}
#HotIf
