Documentation
The Videas player provides a complete control bar and full keyboard navigation inspired by YouTube shortcuts. Every action available via mouse click has a keyboard equivalent, making the player fully operable without a pointing device. The keyboard shortcut panel is accessible at any time by clicking the dedicated button in the control bar. Click on the player above to give it focus, then try the shortcuts listed in the preview section.
