Thanks! Some of the music files I listen to are actually video files so, clicking on the video preview window is much more convenient than a small button and that's what I was looking for. Minimizing is not always a solution, same reason as previous. I tried mouse gestures but for some reason it did not work and I realized this question is being asked for over 10 years yet videolan has not bothered to add this option. SMPlayer is doing a great job so far.

@paralaks Sigh… "clicking on the video preview window is much more convenient than a small button and that's what I was looking for" – So you should have stated this in the question. For now "with a single mouse click" is the only requirement in this matter, my answer tries to follow it. If you change the question now, you will invalidate my answer. It's inelegant and frowned upon in general, but in this case I can live with that. I'm giving you permission to invalidate my answer. Edit the question and I will delete the answer.

Oh, I asked this question after searching for a solution for over 30 mins that's why my question said "in 2023". But I understand if someone never had that issue would not think that way. Your answer is valid based on your understanding. No worries :)

@paralaks "if someone never had that issue would not think that way" – I had, it's irrelevant. In the future please do not assume we will assume, be explicit. I answer questions asked, not questions+mind_reading. I've seen genuine questions about allegedly obvious things. Even if the simplest solution here is "click the play/pause button, duh!", I professionally drop the "duh" and provide the solution because it solves the problem stated in the question. I gave all the solutions I know; unfortunately none of them fulfills the hidden requirement you apparently expected readers to guess.

I am sorry that you have to live with this Kamil. Just don't take everything in life this seriously. I think it would help.
