Hi guys
Firstly just need to point out a few thing's I am not sure whether this question is only relevant to XP, as that is my OS, secondly I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a satisfactory solution whilst browsingI want VLC to display media in its full window, By this i DON'T mean in full screen but in the reduced screen (splash?), what keeps happening is that depending on the media type and default resolution, the player re-sizes the clip, I just want the player to use the (FULL-window) available, even when a new media source is loaded, in a playlist situation for instance ill reapeat I do NOT mean in full screen mode, ive tried playing around with the preferences, in tools/preferences/all/video, but I have not managed, to resolve this
thx for your help in advance

As fluid as the app is, it could get frustrating having to switch and click your mouse every time if you do not know the VLC keyboard shortcuts to use at the right time.

All Important VLC Keyboard Shortcuts
Listed below are the most important keyboard shortcuts you should know when using VLC media player.

All keyboards have that wide space bar whether you are a Windows or Mac user. In which is probably the most used function on VLC player, tapping the space bar can be used to pause and play your media at any time. That will save you a lot of stress instead of moving the mouse all the time.
S for Subtitle
This is another important shortcut. If you are playing a movie with subtitle (see how to add subtitles to videos) and you want to toggle it on or off, just tap “S” on your keyboard. Very easy.

There are times when you are watching videos on your computer with VLC player, you may have slightly adjusted its frame with your mouse if you do not want it to cover the whole screen. To make it full screen again, you just need to tap “F” on your keyboard. On Mac, it’s “Command key” with “F”, but pressing “F’ alone will decrease audio delay by a millisecond and pressing “G” will increase it.
