What is VLC subtitle position keyboard shortcut

Question

What are the keyboard shortcuts to move subtitles in VLC up or down?

Solution

At least on VLC 2.1.6, you can set the shortcut under the Tools->Hotkeys menu (with Simple Show settings). However, cumbersome enough, shifting the subtitle position doesn't come into effect until you restart VLC, which makes the shortcut rather useless, speeding up the trial-error process thought.

I was looking to set overtitles because the video I was seeing had embedded subtitles and I noticed that you can set the offset to a high value (say 1000) and vlc will place the subtitles as high as possible.

EDIT: As reported by the OP, at least from VLC 2.2.1, the subtitle shift is instantaneous.

I don't believe there are keyboard shortcuts for that at present.

You know the process to do it without a keyboard shortcut?

There is an offset option in configuration but it takes a lot of trial and error to guess the right number.

In my vlc version the position is changed at once. I will now have to look into askubuntu.com/questions/284709/… to show them even lower.

oh great! What version is that?

[Spikolynn]

2.2.1 on Win x64

I think this answer addresses subtitle position in time, not on screen.

[quimnuss]

No. I'm talking about sxreen position.

3.0.16 on Mac - have to restart each time for it to take effect.
