Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts

You can control new versions of our media player using your keyboard. These are used across Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Sounds and iPlayer as well as other media throughout the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú website.

You can start using keyboard shortcuts as soon as you play something. Before then, only the ‘play’ and ‘full screen’ keyboard shortcuts work. The shortcuts are:
