Keyboard shortcuts.
The player can be driven entirely from the keyboard — tune in, change the volume, open the panels, and switch themes without reaching for the mouse.
THE FULL LIST
Every key, and what it does.
These work anywhere in the player. Press ? while listening to bring up the same list in a dialog, without leaving the page.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| SpaceorK | Tune in / out — Starts the stream, or stops it if you are already tuned in. |
| ↑ | Volume up — Raises the volume in 5% steps. |
| ↓ | Volume down — Lowers the volume in 5% steps. |
| M | Mute / unmute — Drops to silence, then back to your last level. |
| T | Toggle theme — Switches between the light and dark broadsheet. |
| 1 | Open Timeline — The upcoming queue and recent history. |
| 2 | Open Booth feed — What the DJ has been saying on air. |
| 3orR | Make a request — Opens the request panel. |
| ? | Shortcuts help — The in-player list of every shortcut. |
| ⌘KorCtrl K | Command palette — A searchable menu of every player action. |
| Esc | Close — Dismisses the open drawer or dialog. |
THE COMMAND PALETTE
One menu for everything.
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux) to open the command palette — a searchable list of every player action. Start typing to filter, use the arrow keys to move, and press Enter to run. It's the fastest way to reach something when you can't remember its key.
The palette chord works even while you're typing in a text field, so you can always summon it — and press it again, or Esc, to close it.
WHEN THEY'RE QUIET
Shortcuts step aside while you type.
The single-key shortcuts are suppressed whenever a text field is focused — so typing R into the request box writes an R rather than opening a panel. They also pause while the command palette or the shortcuts dialog is open, since those windows handle the keyboard themselves.
There is no skip. Space tunes you in and out of the broadcast — it doesn't jump the track. See Getting Started for why the station works that way.
