Is it possible to Import/Export VLC key bindings?












7















I'd like to be able to import and export my "Hotkeys" preferences between different VLC installations.



Specifically, I'm looking to use KMPlayer keybindings with VLC, and I'd like to not have to do it multiple times for multiple machines.

          You can try using the same config file (where all preferences such as hotkeys are stored) on all your PCs. As per the FAQ:




          Where does VLC store its config file?



          Currently, a config file is created on a per user basis (there is no
          global configuration file). If you modify the available options in VLC
          and save the new configuration, then a configuration file will be
          created in your user directory. The precise location of this file
          depends on the Operating System you are running:




          • Linux / Unix: $(HOME)/.config/vlc/vlcrc (v0.9.0 and above), $(HOME)/.vlc/vlcrc (v0.8 and older)


          • Mac OS X: HOME/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc HOME/Library/Preferences/VLC (v0.9 and older)


          • Windows 95/98/ME: C:WindowsApplication Datavlcvlcrc


          • Windows 2000/XP: C:Documents and Settings%username%Application Datavlcvlcrc


          • Windows Vista/7: C:Users%username%Application Datavlcvlcrc

            (or C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingvlcvlcrc)


          • BeOS: config/settings/vlcrc
