Keyboard + D-pad
The whole app is built for D-pad-first navigation. Keyboard users get the same model with arrow keys, plus a few extra shortcuts.
Press ? anywhere in the app for the full list of shortcuts. This page covers the ones you’ll use most.
Global
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Search | Ctrl K (Windows / Linux) or Cmd K (macOS) |
| Show all shortcuts | ? |
| Move between buttons / links | Tab, Shift Tab |
| Move focus anywhere on screen | Up / Down / Left / Right |
| Click the focused thing | Enter or Space |
| Go back | Esc, D-pad Back, or Android system back |
Live TV
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Move up / down the channel list | Up / Down |
| Page up / down | PgUp / PgDn |
| Jump to top / bottom | Home / End |
| Watch the focused channel | Enter |
| Jump to a channel number | 0-9 (an overlay shows the digits; it tunes on its own after a moment, or press Enter to go right away, Esc to cancel) |
| Previous / next channel | [ / ] |
| Back to the last channel | \ |
Player
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Play / pause | Space |
| Skip back / forward (replay + live rewind) | J / L or media rewind / fast-forward keys |
| Mute | M |
| Fullscreen | F |
| Exit fullscreen | Esc |
Repeated skip presses combine into one bigger jump instead of seeking a little each time.
On a TV (D-pad)
The whole app works with a standard TV remote out of the box - no setup needed:
- D-pad arrows move focus to whatever is next on screen in that direction.
- OK / Select activates the focused button or link.
- Back closes dialogs and walks back through the pages you visited.
- Media keys (Play / Pause / FF / RW) control the player when one is on screen. On channels with archive support, pressing rewind from live starts a replay behind the broadcast - see Catch-up TV & replay.
Buttons and rows are big enough to read across a room and the focus highlight is visible from 3m away. You’ll never need to plug in a mouse.
Window and tray (desktop)
- Close to tray - open Settings > Appearance > Close button behavior to make the close button hide the window in your system tray instead of quitting. The tray icon’s menu has Show and Quit. The first time you close to tray, you’ll get a one-time notification so you know the app is still running.
- Window size and position are saved across launches. The app always launches visible, never silently in the tray.
