[digiKam-users] Play Video with VLC

I'm trying to figure out to make videos play in VLC using F4 or "Open 
With..." or some other method (I think I saw something about Alt + 
Double Click).

I running Pop!_OS. I installed digiKam and VLC via snap. I have tried 
everything that my limited experience knows how to do, but the only way 
I can get the videos to open in VLC is by right-clicking, "Open With..." 
and then selecting Url Handler Script which then opens a window and from 
there I have to click on VLC and then the video opens. Too many steps.

Can anyone point me to some instructions on making this work?

I apologize for any ignorance on my end. I recently moved to Linux from 
a macOS environment. Trying to give up on big tech. So far digiKam has 
been a great alternative to Lightroom.
