Keys currently available in the WinUI preview.

These are the controls currently wired in the WinUI preview. Focus matters, and shortcuts from the older web app do not necessarily apply.

Where Key Action
Local track list Ctrl+A Enter multi-select and select currently loaded rows
Track list in multi-select Esc Clear the selection and leave multi-select
Immersive view Esc Return to the main view
Native controls Tab / Shift+Tab Move through focusable controls
Windows media session Media play, pause, previous, next Control OFPlayer when Windows directs the key to its media session

When you type in search, the input receives the keys first. Arrow keys on sliders and menus follow native control behavior; they are not global seek or volume shortcuts. There is no current promise of global Space, five-second arrow seeking, or number-key progress jumps. The visible playback controls provide those everyday actions.

Keyboard focus, DPI behavior, and screen-reader support are still being refined. When reporting a problem, include the version, page, and focus order you observed.
