I know that there are many great video players for Linux but I need MPC-HC for the specific reason that I can hide the seek bar by pressing Ctrl+1.
Could MPC-HC be compiled and used under Debian Linux?
Also if there is a player under Linux that can allow the seek bar the be hidden used a shortcut, I am open to use it.

It sounds like you need a player which can hide its seek bar by pressing Ctrl+1. That, on its own, is not a reason to need MPC-HC specifically.
In gnome-mplayer, the seek bar can be displayed or hidden using c but you can change this to Ctrl+1 via gnome-mplayer's settings window.
In mpv, the seek bar is always floating and only visible when you move the mouse. You can bind Ctrl+1 to the seek bar's visibility via input.conf:
Ctrl+1 script-message osc-visibility never
Ctrl+2 script-message osc-visibility always
In VLC, you can toggle the seek bar by pressing Ctrl+H (in windowed mode) or i (fullscreen).
In gnome-mpv, you can toggle the seek bar by pressing Ctrl+H. You can also switch the bar to 'floating' mode, which does not occupy permanent space and disappears when unused.

As opposed to using a player that doesn't even show the seek bar? – user1686 – 2018-09-22T14:32:33.913

Have you tried loading MPC under Wine? – AFH – 2018-09-22T17:18:33.670
