VLC hooks hardware system volume controls
This is a bug that keeps popping back into existence, and I would love to show you the old bug report tickets, however, I can't seem to search on trac without getting errors. Basically, I have hardware buttons on my laptop that change the system volume, and VLC, when the active window, hooks those buttons for itself, preventing the operating system from receiving the system volume commands. If this is an intended feature, can it please be made optional as this functionality could be considered disruptive, and thus shouldn't be done without the user's permission. (This request is being made simply due to the fact that this bug keeps reappearing, and I wonder whether this functionality keeps occurring intentionally).
