Originally created by @juriroemer on GitHub (Oct 22, 2021).

Would love to be able to control AudioBookshelf via the usual keyboard inputs - some suggestions:

  • space: play/pause
  • arrow left/right: jump 10 seconds
  • arrow up/down: raise/lower volume
  • l: open/close playlist view
  • escape: close player
  • (m: mute/unmute)

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Oct 23, 2021):

I just added some of these in v1.4.14, but put it in experimental features because I haven't tested it enough yet.

If you have experimental features on it should work like this:

[Space] : Play/Pause
[ArrowLeft] : Jump backward 10s
[ArrowRight] : Jump forward 10s
[ArrowUp] : Increase volume 10%
[ArrowDown] : Decrease volume 10%
[M] : Mute/Unmute

If you have an input field focused OR any dialog is open it will ignore the hotkeys.

I just realized as I'm writing this that I forgot to check if the e-reader is open, so they will still work if the e-reader is open but I will fix that tomorrow.

I plan on mapping the escape key to close the player or any open dialogs, which is a bit more involved so I held off on that one for now.

I'm not sure what you meant by the playlist view.

Wow, that was fast, exciting!
Mapping the escape key like that sound great. Mapping something like [Shift] + [Up/Down] to increase/decrease playback speed would also be nice.
Just had a super quick look at the code, what I meant to trigger/toggle with [L] is the showChapters() function.

I added these hotkeys and included in release v1.5.0

This is no longer experimental. I will need to put these somewhere people can find.
