* vlc on KDE: there is a keyboard shortcut double-occupied (alt-p); most users probably won't realize it as they click there with the mouse; we could change the test to do the same, or keep on working with upstream to solve the underlying issue
This patch should fix the problem: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:wolfi323:branches:m ultimedia:libs/vlc/vlc-2.2.4-unambig-shortcuts.patch?expand=1
I you can try to submit it to upstream - but there it would be interesting for the master branch only. for openQA, this has since been 'worked around' in a way a user would do it: it clicks play using the mouse.
Shall I submit it?
Though I'm not completely sure that the chosen shortcuts are ideal. And I yet have to adjust the translations too of course, otherwise the button and popup menu texts are untranslated.
The fact that we break translations is a big no-go for such a patch. It's not worth it.
Or is there an upstream fix in sight already anyway?
No - not unless somebody really works it all out - which means also including the translations and ensuring no duplicates would happen there. but, as said: for openQA this has been 'solved' by using the mouse (same a user will do on his system) Cheers, Dominique
