Keyboard Shortcuts
Speed up your workflow with keyboard shortcuts. Control audio playback, navigate the app, and open the panels you need without touching your mouse.
Quick Reference
Press Shift+? anywhere in the app to open the shortcuts help dialog. Shortcuts are disabled while you're typing in an input field or text area, and while any dialog or sheet is open — the open surface owns the keyboard until it closes.
Playback
Control audio with Space, arrow keys, and more.
Navigation
Jump to dashboard, recordings, or upload new content.
General
Open the help overlay or close dialogs from anywhere.
Playback Controls
These shortcuts work whenever audio is loaded in the player.
