Keyboard shortcuts for player

Keyboard shortcuts greatly enhance user interaction by enabling fast, seamless control of video playback without relying on on-screen controls. They allow users to perform actions more quickly, improving the overall efficiency and accessibility of the player. This is especially valuable for those who need an easier way to navigate videos, such as during presentations or multitasking. Additionally, shortcuts enable uninterrupted content viewing by minimizing the need for manual adjustments. FastPix Player offers customization options, allowing users to disable or modify specific shortcuts to fit their personal preferences and viewing habits.

Accessibility and customization

Disabling all keyboard control

To disable all keyboard shortcuts, add the disable-keyboard-controls attribute to the player configuration:

<fp-player 
  playbackId="Playback ID" 
  thumbnail-time="5" 
  playback-rates="1 4 5 6 7 2" 
  forward-seek-offset="30" 
  disable-keyboard-controls 
></fp-player>

Disabling specific keyboard controls

You can disable individual keyboard controls by setting the hotKey property. For example, to disable the 'K' key:

<fp-player 
  playbackId="Playback ID" 
  thumbnail-time="5" 
  forward-seek-offset="30" 
  placeholder="" 
  thumbnail-time="5" 
  playback-rates="1 4 5 6 7 2" 
  forward-seek-offset="30" 
  hot-key="keyK" 
></fp-player>

To disable multiple keys, use the hotKeys property. For example, to disable both the 'K' and 'F' keys:

<fp-player 

  playback-id="7bff10bc-8147-4331-b864-6e5bc4d904cd" 
  thumbnail-time="5" 
  playback-rates="1 4 5 6 7 2" 
  forward-seek-offset="30" 
  hot-keys="keyK keyF" 
></fp-player>

These keyboard shortcuts are designed to enhance your experience with the FastPix Player, making it easier and more efficient to control playback, volume, and screen modes. You can customize the controls as needed to create the optimal viewing experience.
