Master Playback with Your Keyboard

For power users, reaching for the mouse to pause, skip, or change volume is an unnecessary interruption. Our player supports standard keyboard shortcuts, making media control fast and intuitive.

Here is the complete cheat-sheet of available shortcuts to master your player.

Standard Navigation Shortcuts

Spacebar or K — Play / Pause toggle.
J — Seek backward 10 seconds.
L — Seek forward 10 seconds.
M — Mute / Unmute audio toggle.
N — Next track (in a playlist).
P — Previous track (in a playlist).

Advanced Speed Controls

> (Shift + .) — Increase playback speed (1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x).
< (Shift + ,) — Decrease playback speed (0.75x, 0.5x).

⚠️ Important: > If your cursor is focused inside an external iframe or search box, shortcuts will temporarily pause. Click anywhere on the dark background area of the player to restore keyboard controls.

These controls work seamlessly whether you are streaming a single track or a YouTube Playlist without Ads.
