YouTube Player Shortcut Keys
A complete (as far as I can tell) list of the keyboard shortcuts that work with the YouTube video player. A few notes:
– the player has to have focus (to be the last thing you clicked on the page) in order for the shortcuts to work.
– numbers on the numeric pad do not work for jumping through the video.
Do comment if you have other shortcuts. Enjoy!
| Keyboard shortcut | What it does |
| Left / Right arrow | Jump back / ahead 10% in the current video |
| Up / Down arrow | Turn Volume Up /Down |
| Home / End | Seek to the beginning / last seconds of the video |
| Spacebar/Left mouse Button | Play / Pause |
| Numbers 1 to 9 (no numpad) | Seek to the 10% to 90% of the video |
