Default keyboard shortcuts

Letter and digit keys need Ctrl + Alt; only [, ], =, \, ', ,, . and Esc work alone. That keeps the extension's keys away from the keys a site's own player uses.

A "Yes" in the last column means the key works with a connected account, and Account and sync lists what connecting adds.

Speed​

The Speed Control section in Settings holds the speed keys and the widget keys.

Browser-level shortcuts​

The browser sets these four. It decides whether each one is assigned, and you change them on the browser's own extension shortcuts page. The extension cannot change them.

Ctrl + Shift + V (Command + Shift + V on a Mac)Show or hide the floating controls
Ctrl + Shift + P (Command + Shift + P on a Mac)Picture-in-Picture on or off
Ctrl + Shift + C (Command + Shift + C on a Mac)Take a screenshot

Netflix​

Netflix has its own set, which switches on only in one case, and the table is on the Netflix page.

To give one of these another key, see Change a shortcut.
