I'm a heavy user of the keyboard, so messing with the pointer doesn't feel
right. Especially not with keyboard-driven software like mplayer and maybe
Rage.

The use-case for the OSD, for me, is that sometimes I just want to know for
how long I've been watching something. Or how much is left. Forcing OSD on
and off (ie hitting o twice) sounds like a good thing.

More generally the case for mplayer keys is that there's a lot of nice
enough features, turning subtitles on and off, and I'm sure a lot of
people know the mplayer keybindings already as there's nothing wrong with
them.

Yeah, that was actually the first thing I did :D Like launch rage with no
arguments, and dragging a video to it.

I get the point why you might not want an open file dialog but is that the
general trend of EFL-driven apps? I appreciate software with an open file
function that allows me to find the files by typing around and open in
the current app.

Binding something to open the e file manager and finding files and either
having them associated with an app or manually open in an app achieves
the same goal, though really differently ;)
