VLC Media Player is a feature-rich media player. It is the application that comes to mind when you need to play an MKV file that most other media players don't support. Just calling it a media player is unfair, because it has features that most other software doesn't have, including screencast and streaming.
In addition, it also has excellent shortcut support and you can completely customize these shortcuts. You can also disable a shortcut on VLC if it is colliding with another application.
Note: This only works on the latest version of VLC Media Player. Older versions have no option to disable keyboard shortcuts. Therefore, make sure you have installed the final version of VLC.
You launch VLC and from the menu bar, click Tools> Preferences . Or just press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + P .
In the Simple Preferences window , click on the Hotkeys tab . Here, you will see a complete list of all shortcuts. You can edit them if you want, but if you just want to disable a shortcut, just double click on it. A window appears with the Unset option . Click on it to disable shortcuts that you do not use or collide with another application.
Once done, the shortcut field will be deleted. There is no way to automatically reset that shortcut to its default value. Therefore, you must remember what the shortcut is when you want to reactivate.
To enable a shortcut after you have disabled it, open the Preferences window . Click the Hotkeys tab and in the list of shortcuts, double-click the shortcut you want to turn back on. When the dialog box opens, enter the shortcut you want to set.
Shortcuts on VLC, while quite useful, can interfere with other applications. This mostly happens when a combination of keyboard shortcuts is a very common combination. For example, many applications including cloud drive applications will attempt to bind the Print Screen key to a screenshot function. If you have too many applications trying to control this particular key, you will have to choose one of the other applications.
Follow SUSE’s SP7 procedure to enable FIPS mode, reboot safely, verify the active policy, and check whether your compliance requirement calls for validated modules.
Compare YaST and cryptsetup for a new encrypted SLES data volume, choose LUKS1 or LUKS2, and verify unlock and mount behavior safely.
Create, refine, and verify a least-privilege AppArmor profile on SLES 15 SP7, with a clear note on SLES 16’s SELinux default.
Set up RMT on SLES 15, mirror entitled repositories, and verify HTTPS registration and package access from a test client.
Connect SLES 15 to AD with YaST’s SSSD-based logon management, then verify directory lookup, domain login, and Kerberos tickets.
Set up the right Live Patching path for SLES 16.0 or 15 SP7, apply eligible kernel fixes, and confirm what is active without confusing it with a reboot-required kernel update.
Load a custom SLES 15 kernel module without disabling Secure Boot. Match the running kernel, sign the .ko file, enroll a MOK key, and verify loading.
SLES 15 SP5 can migrate online to SP6, but each node must reboot. Use a tested rolling upgrade or blue-green cutover to keep workloads reachable.
Use SUSE’s supported STIG profile to scan SLES 15, test remediation, review remaining findings, and retain assessment evidence.
Trace a failed Cockpit connection through DNS, port 9090, the systemd socket, firewalld, TLS, and login settings using current SUSE guidance.
