If your laptop also has some quick volume buttons, you can use them to control your PC volume. Just press the Ctrl key with the up arrow to increase the volume and the Ctrl key with the down arrow to decrease it. You can increase or decrease the volume of any video by using the shortcuts also. If you want more than that, you will need to use the seek bar for that. To do this, combine both the ALT and CTRL keys and use them with the directional arrows to skip 5 mins of the video. Moreover, even if a minute is not long enough, you can skip a video for 5 mins. CTRL + ALT + Left/Right Arrows for 5 Mins Just use the CTRL key instead of the Alt key alongside arrows to skip the video for 1 min. If skipping only 10 seconds isn’t enough for you, you can also skip a minute of the video on VLC. To do this, you can simply press the ALT button with the left or right arrow keys (right for forward, left for back) to skip 10 seconds of the video. Sometimes we want to skip a few seconds on the video and sometimes we even want to go back when we miss something. And, you’ll come out from full-screen video mode and VLC will also return to window mode. If you want to stop the video due to some other urgent work on your PC, you can stop the video immediately by pressing the S button.

As well know that the most needed functions while playing a video is play and pause, thus VLC media player lets you do that by just hitting the biggest key on your keyboard i.e. This one is probably the oldest trick in the book for VLC users.
