That Ctrl+Click works here.
I tried some experiment:
MOUSE_BTN0 pause
MOUSE_BTN0_DBL vo_fullscreen

The pause works, the fullscreen doesn't. Taken literally, aiming to emulate the Gabest Media Player Classic, it ought to work. While my earlier idea of a delayed response to click that is aborted if double-click arrives first, MPC seems to do something simpler, it pauses on first click, then unpauses on the second of the double. Actually, toggles whatever initial play state exists, twice, at same time toggling fullscreen. Any apparent glitching is so small that it is not objectionable. There seems to be no way to emulate this in Mplayer.

>From this I suggest that the only practical answer is to bring out all the AMP core mthods, at least those for mouse button up, and down, and double click, and that way we can make combinations that work, just as we can in the API itself. Doesn't matter what they get called so long as they're there. Also, we'd need to be able to overide 'contet menu' if we wanted to make our own right-clicks handler. If that, and the 'drag while clicked onto window contents; thing were overridden, the number of API methods needed extending to users would be minimal. The real risk is having to fight inbuilt actions we can't switch off. It gets easy, fast, if we can avoid that.
