Hi! Friends, please pop up a confirmation dialog box after triggering the Esc keyboard instead of exiting the player program directly.

Hi! Friends, please pop up a confirmation dialog box after triggering the Esc keyboard instead of exiting the player program directly.

mpv.net uses default mpv quit command to close the player, so this falls more under a script responsibility:

either:

mp.add_key_binding("ESC", "confirmquit", function()
    if confirm_timer then
        mp.command("quit")
    else
        mp.osd_message("Press ESC again to quit", 1)
        confirm_timer = mp.add_timeout(1, function()
            if confirm_timer then
                confirm_timer:kill()
                confirm_timer = nil
            end
        end)
    end
end)

or:

_{https://ss64.com/ps/messagebox.html}

mp.add_key_binding("ESC", "confirmquit", function()
    local confirm = mp.command_native({name = "subprocess", playback_only = false, args = {"powershell", "-NoProfile", "-Command", [[
        Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms;
        $result = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('Press OK to quit', 'Confirmation', 'OKCancel', 'Question');
        if ($result -eq 'OK') { exit 0 } else { exit 1 }
    ]]}})
    if confirm and confirm.status == 0 then
        mp.command("quit")
    end
end)

Or even simply adding ESC ignore to input.conf, since i can't think of any player that allows closing it by pressing ESC, seems far too problematic for how easy it is to do it by accident.

Additionally, most players use Esc to exit full-screen playback rather than terminating the player process.

Also, how do I disable Q exiting the player? This one is just as confusing as Esc.

If the confirmation dialog box cannot pop up, it is better to disable the Esc to exit the player by default, which will be more user-friendly.

It can, with one of the scripts. And from what I remember, it was mentioned somewhere that mpv.net philosophy is that if it can be done with a script, then it’s the scripts role, especially when the provided functionality isn’t something implemented exclusively by mpv.net.

mpv.net provides very basic set of keybinds out of the box, it's on the user to adjust them to their liking, and there's already a set of links in the manual that have examples of both, including mentions of build-in input editor:
