There is a Google Summer of Code 2025 proposal to update the User Interface and add new features like Parental Controls to the VLC iOS app. This is to catch up with the Android version of VLC.

This will enable iOS users to restrict access to the app settings and to sensitive actions, such as deleting media files or modifying playlists, unless the user successfully authenticates via a PIN code or biometrics.

Today I learned about Control-S and Control-Q… better late than never, I guess 😉

And just got me thinking about that helpful “scroll?” at the bottom of my ZX Spectrum after printing a screenful of content in BASIC…

by default, pressing Ctrl+S will freeze your terminal (and Ctrl+Q will unfreeze)

I have never wanted this in my life, you can turn it off with stty -ixon

(fish turns it off by default)

I think it's interesting how all rhythm games I've played so far need very little controls: Beat Saber needs no buttons at all. Beat Slayer needs the most with a Joystick and 4 Buttons. Unbeatable needs one for up and one for down, Crypt of the Necrodancer and Audiosurf only need movement, at least in basic mode. One could argue over Dance Dance Revolution. I'd say when played with an actual mat that's more like a single D-pad than 5/9 buttons.
