With almost every movie player I've used regularly, I've gotten used to a few global keyboard shortcuts, mostly spacebar to play/pause, "f" for fullscreen in/out toggle, left and right arrows to seek, and up and down arrows for volume. I'm having a hard time settling in and feeling "comfortable" with JRiver, even with the extra capabilities, because there's so much interface behaviour that's different to what I'm used to and that doesn't appear to be configurable to something more familiar. JRiver gives me space as play/pause in fullscreen but not in other views, left and right default to volume controls (and only in full screen), and "f" doesn't do anything. I prefer keyboard shortcuts to be consistent across all states of an application, where possible or practical.
I can't find options to configure key shortcuts in the options menu. Do they exist? Seems strange if they don't given how configurable JRiver seems to be in most areas. If I could at least get spacebar working globally as play/pause (as long as MC has focus), I'd feel a lot of relief. I've been using MC for the month trial and a few days more since paying and I'm still frequently hitting space to try to start/stop tracks, and then wondering for a split second why nothing happens. Annoying, but it's a reflex developed over many, many years. :c
Having "f" for fullscreen toggle work globally (or the ability to set a key or key combo to do so) would be good also. I'm impotently pressing this a lot too. :/
