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.

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.

REMEMBER

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.
