How about a 1 key toggle to turn on/off closed captions.
This would be a key, say C, that would be active while watching a show (i.e. not on any page such as now playing, etc.) Currently, all 4 keys do nothing when playing a show.
I realize that this would be a "hint-less" shortcut, and thus someone could accidentally turn on closed captions without any clue as to which key turns it on or off. At present, one has to do
right,
down,
enter,
left
to turn on captions and dismiss the dialog.
I would suggest therefore that a hint could appear on the CC screen indicating that one can toggle CC with a single key. If this is a problem, then there are several other ways to let the user know about this key, such as a 1 second popup message when toggling, or a hint could be shown on the timeline bar that appears during pause or play.
Also, it would be nice if this could work with netflix, which is even more tedious to turn on CC.
BTW, I don't use CC because of a hearing problem. Today's actors tend to mumble or whisper their lines at critical points in a show; some have thick accents or their characters do. So, I need to turn on CC, skip back 10-20 seconds, read the lines, then toggle CC back off. Very tedious.
