Use keyboard shortcuts in the web player

Updated Oct 11, 2026

Use keyboard shortcuts in the web player ​

These are the web player's keyboard shortcuts. In the player, press ? (Shift+/), or select Help (the question mark at the right end of the controls under the video) > Keyboard Shortcuts, to see them on screen. You can't change them.

The on-screen list shows both the macOS and the Windows key for shortcuts that use ⌘ or Ctrl. The tables below give the right one for each system. Shortcuts don't work while you're typing in a text box.

Esc first closes an active overlay or leaves a mode, such as compare or range selection. Leaving compare also pauses playback. Otherwise, it pauses playback, clears the in/out range, or clears the selection, in that order. In sequence playback, press Esc again within 2.5 seconds to leave the sequence.
