How to restore offscreen VLC?


If I've understood the problem correctly(?), you might try this:

1. Open VLC and select it in the taskbar so it is the currently selected application (even though you can't see it)
2. Let go of the mouse and be careful not to move it until step 6
3. Use the Alt-Spacebar key combination
4. There should be a little pop-up menu which appears. If 'Move' is an option, use the downward cursor/arrow key to select it and press enter. If 'Restore' is an option, select that option with the cursor keys, press Enter and go back to step 3
5. Once you've selected Move, be careful to not move the mouse. Instead, hit one of the cursor/arrow keys (left/right/up/down) a couple of times
6. *Then* move the mouse. With any luck the VLC window should come into view and you can re-position it.
