Setting and using a “hot key”
You can also open Apple Video Player by pressing a preset
key or combination of keys. When you press this “hot” key,
you switch to the Apple Video Player application no matter
what other application you are currently in. If Apple Video
Player is already the active application, the Apple Video
Player application quits when you press the hot key.
To set a hot key:
1 With the Apple Video Player application active, choose Hot
Key from the Setup menu.
The Hot Key dialog box appears.
2 Press the key or key combination you want to use for your
hot key.
You can use one or more (up to four) of the modifier keys—
x, Option, Control, and Shift—plus any other key.
Important Don’t use a key combination that is already
used by other programs. For example, don’t use x-P, which
is a keyboard shortcut for printing in most applications. If
you use a keyboard shortcut like x-P to open or quit Apple
Video Player, x-P will no longer print things for you—it will
instead open Apple Video Player.
3 Click OK.
Your new hot key is ready to use, to quit or to open Apple
Video Player.
If you discover later that pressing your hot key causes
unexpected things to happen—or that a keyboard shortcut
in another application launches Apple Video Player—repeat
these steps to choose another hot key.
