In this Video, I am going to tell about using Shortcut Keys for watching YouTube Videos
So, let me first start with the very useful key,
i-e Letter "K".
Say, if you want to play the Video, just press the letter "K".
It will start playing.
so, now it started playing the video.
so, if you want to stop it, i-e pause it, just press the same button "K" again.
so, it will be paused.
so, that letter "K" is very much useful for watching youtube videos without using mouse
And, we can use the key "L" for going forward 10 seconds.
Right now, it is in the 31 seconds, I am pressing "L", it is going to 41 seconds.
Now 51, 1 minute 1 sec, like that.
So, similarly if you want to go back 10 seconds you can use the letter "J".
I am pressing "J" now, it is taking back 10 seconds.
So, now it is 31 seconds, 21 seconds, like that.
So basically we can use the keys "J" and "L" for going back to 10 seconds or going forward 10 seconds.
We can use the "Tab" key for giving focus to various controls in this page.
I am just pressing the "Tab" key. we can see the change in the focus
Right now the focus is on that play button , now it is to the next one , now it is to the volume control, like that is is moving.
so, if you want to go back, you can use the "Shift +Tab"
Once the control is on this part, we can use various other keys.
say for example, if you want to go to the starting position, just press the "0".
now it is moved to the starting position. 0 seconds, right?
so, here you can use the space bar also for pausing and restarting the video.
I am just pressing "Space", so it is pausing. Pressing "Space" again, it is restarting.
so, basically we can use the "space bar" here in addition to the "K" key.
And, if you want to go to, like 10%, 20%, 30% or 40% like that, you can press the corresponding number
For example, going to the 30% of the video, you can just press the number "3".
It is taking here, so, suppose if we want to go to 90% , just press "9".
We can use the Home key for going to the starting in addition to the "0".
I just pressed the "Home", it is taken into the starting of the video
If I want to go forward 5 seconds , I can just press the Right Arrow Key.
So, it is 5 Seconds, now 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds like that.
so, it is basically moving forward 5 seconds whenever I press the Right Arrow Key.
Previously we used "L" Key for moving forward 10 seconds.
The difference between this "L" key and this Right Arrow is, apart from the time difference
i-e L key will move 10 seconds, and this Arrow key will move 5 seconds
Apart from this difference , the main difference is , the L key will work form anywhere
but this Arrow key will be working when you are giving focus to the control part, otherwise it won't work.
We can change the volume of the Video just by using Arrow Keys.
For doing that, first we need to give the focus to the player control part.
I am using "Tab" key to bring the focus to the Volume control part.
Now we reached that volume control part.
Now, I am going to use the Arrow Keys.
It is reducing the volume by pressing "Down" Arrow key.
And, if I press the "Up" Arrow key, it will increase the volume
Now I am pressing the "Up" arrow Key.
For muting the Audio, we have to press the key "M".
I am just going to press "M".
Now it muted.
If I want to bring back the sound again, I need to press the "M" again.
so, now it is unmuted.
And, if you want to increase the playback speed of the video , we have to press the ">" key.
I am pressing that.
Now it is showing the video with increased speed.
If you want to decrease the speed, you have to press the "<" key.
Remember to press the Shift key.
So, now it is going very slowly.
And, we can press the letter "F", if we want to go for the fullscreen mode.
We can press the "Esc" key or we can press the same "F" key again to bring back the normal view.
In summary, we can use few keys like K, L and J as Shorcuts from anywhere in the youtube video watch page.
and we can use many other keys only when the focus is on the player control part.
For bringing that focus, we have to use the "Tab" key.
