How to enable dark mode

Turn on Dark mode in Windows Settings, read Change colors in Windows.

How to disable the default right click keybinding

add MBTN_RIGHT ignore in input.conf, or change ignore to whatever you want.

How to trigger menu from other script / keybinding

  • lua script: mp.commandv('script-binding', 'dyn_menu/show')
  • keybinding: add Shift+MBTN_RIGHT script-binding dyn_menu/show to input.conf

[!TIP] If you want to trigger menu with lua code, be aware that the menu won't display unless the mouse is in mpv window.

I don't want to trigger click event when closing menu by left click

see #23, or use the lua code below:

mp.register_script_message('menu-open', function()
    mp.add_forced_key_binding('MBTN_LEFT', 'click_ignore')
end)

mp.register_script_message('menu-close', function()
    local sec = mp.get_property_number("input-doubleclick-time", 300) / 1000
    mp.add_timeout(sec, function()
        mp.remove_key_binding('click_ignore')
    end)
end)
