Arrows, Enter, Escape

Navigate the menus like a remote; Enter confirms, Escape goes back.

Space bar

Play/Pause in the player, with a shortcut line shown for seeking, subtitles and picture format.

⌘F — Search

Opens search from any screen.

⌘, — Settings

Opens settings; ⌘[ goes back, ⌘⇧H returns to Home.

Copy/paste

The Edit menu (⌘C/⌘V/⌘X/⌘A/⌘Z) works in text fields, like any Mac app.

Right-click

On a channel or a poster, right-click opens the same quick menu as a remote’s long-press.
