Keyboard Shortcuts

Producer Dashboard supports keyboard shortcuts for common actions. Learning even a few of these can significantly speed up your workflow.

Playback controls

Shortcut	Action
`Space`	Play / Pause the selected track
`Shift + Space`	Stop playback
`Left Arrow`	Seek backward
`Right Arrow`	Seek forward
`Up Arrow`	Previous track in list
`Down Arrow`	Next track in list

Playback shortcuts work when a track is selected in the grid and the player is active.

Use the number shortcuts to quickly jump between main sections of the app.

Shortcut	Action
`Click`	Select a single track
`Shift + Click`	Select a range of tracks
`Cmd + Click` / `Ctrl + Click`	Toggle selection on a track (multi-select)
`Cmd + A` / `Ctrl + A`	Select all visible tracks
`Escape`	Clear selection

Selection shortcuts work in the tracks grid and follow standard desktop conventions.

Shortcut	Action
`Enter`	Open detail view for selected track
`Delete` / `Backspace`	Delete selected tracks (with confirmation)
`Cmd + F` / `Ctrl + F`	Focus the search/filter bar
`Tab`	Move to next field when editing inline
`Shift + Tab`	Move to previous field when editing inline

Shortcut	Action
`Cmd + I` / `Ctrl + I`	Toggle activity panel

The activity panel shows details, comments, tags, and widgets for the selected track.

Shortcut	Action
`Escape`	Close the current modal
`Enter`	Confirm / submit the current dialog
`Tab`	Move between fields in a modal

Producer Dashboard uses the standard modifier key convention:

All shortcuts listed as Cmd / Ctrl use the appropriate key for your platform.

Start by learning the playback and navigation shortcuts. These are the ones you will use most.
Cmd + K (command palette) is one of the most powerful shortcuts — it gives you quick access to search and actions.
Use Shift + Click for selecting ranges and Cmd + Click for picking individual tracks. This makes bulk operations much faster.
Escape is your universal “close/cancel” key. It works for modals, panels, and clearing selections.
