Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

Current bindings for F8 and F9 are:

F8 show-text ${playlist}               # show the playlist
F9 show-text ${track-list}             # show the list of video, audio and sub tracks

On my system, font size of the current F8 and F9 is not good.

It's probably better to change it to:

F8 script-binding select/select-playlist
F9 script-binding select/select-track

Research direction

Locate the default F8 and F9 binding definitions and inspect select.lua, especially the select/select-playlist and select/select-track entry points. Confirm that the defaults use those script bindings and that F8 opens the playlist while F9 opens the track list, then verify the resulting display behavior.
