Re: Still Searching For the Player that has This Hot key

Define a shortcut, bind it to a script and do whatever you want to your player, either using the dbus/mpris interface, mplayer/mpv' remote control socket, wmctrl, … (really depend on your preferred player)
In very doubt you can still SIGSTOP and (at least on X11) xdotool iconify/unmap it.

Also please remove the oversized and rather pointless screenshot.
