Fixes control interactions and icon display issues for immediate usability.
Keyboard Shortcuts:
- Space bar now globally toggles play/pause
- Works anywhere in the app when video is loaded
- No longer conflicts with keyframing mode shortcuts
Icon Display Fix:
- Replaced Material Icons unicode with ASCII/emoji fallback
- Play: ▶ | Pause: || | Stop: ■
- Skip: |◀ and ▶| | Fast: ◀◀ and ▶▶
- Volume: 🔊🔉🔇 emojis
- Menu: ☰ (hamburger)
- Works without special fonts installed
Why ASCII Fallback:
- Material Symbols font not installed by default
- Unicode characters displayed as boxes/gibberish
- ASCII icons work universally on all systems
- Ready for custom SVG icons replacement
Usage:
- Press Space anywhere to play/pause video
- Icons now display correctly without font dependencies
- Buttons should be more responsive
Next Steps:
- Add custom SVG icons (user will create)
- Implement overlay controls that auto-hide
- Fix play button responsiveness
- Move controls to overlay video area
