Same here - with the default key settings; what I wrote above is just an 
example with random keys, the idea is that if eg you want ctrl+alt+s to 
rewind, you must have 's' in the "stop" action, and select both the ALT 
and the CONTROL checkbox.

"easier" because it's modelled after kde - that is, you select an 
action, vlc tells you "ok - which keys?", you press them, and that's it.

Btw, what do you mean by "missing"?
I may be wrong, but I think you forgot to check "show advanced options" 
- search for it, it's turned off by default to make life easier on new 
users ;D
