How to stop HUD from appearing while video playback?

Question

When I watch a movie in VLC, I want to jump forward or backward in the movie using Alt+Right/left, but when I press Alt the HUD appears.

Is it necessary to change some key bindings (like shown here) or is there a better solution? Maybe I can disable HUD while having focus on VLC?

HUD only appears if you press and release Alt key instantly, If you hold down the Alt key for little bit longer it won't appear.

Yeah, I noticed that. But sometimes I forget to hold the Alt key for a little bit longer ... – Christian May 07 '12 at 13:12
@Christian Another option is to change the hot keys in VLC preferences. – Basharat Sialvi May 07 '12 at 14:42
