Keyboard Shortcuts

EnaCast includes keyboard shortcuts on the public website (for listeners) and in the audio editor and audio studio (for editors). These shortcuts allow you to work more quickly and efficiently.

Public Website Shortcuts

Global Search

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl + K (Windows/Linux)	Open global search
Cmd + K (Mac)	Open global search

The global search allows you to search for episodes, moments and news from the station. After typing at least 3 characters, results are displayed organised by category (podcasts, moments and news).

Command Palette

The website includes a command palette (Spotlight-style) that opens with the search. From it you can:

• Navigate to the home page
• Go to the programs section
• Go directly to a specific program by name
• Go to the news section
• Play/pause audio
• Open the podcast archive

Player Controls

When the player is active, you can control it from the command palette by selecting the play/pause option.

Audio Editor Shortcuts

The audio editor in EnaCast Studio includes keyboard shortcuts to control playback, mark cut points and navigate through the audio without using the mouse.

Space	Play / pause
←	Rewind 5 seconds

Alt + ←	Rewind 500 milliseconds
Alt + →	Fast forward 500 milliseconds

Precision navigation

Combine the different navigation levels to quickly reach the exact point:

1. Use , and . to jump from marker to marker
2. Use Shift + arrows to jump through the episode in 5-minute blocks
3. Use the arrows to adjust in 5-second jumps
4. Use Alt + arrows for fine-tuning in 500-millisecond increments

Audio Studio Shortcuts

The Audio studio (early access) has its own shortcuts. Some keys match the audio editor’s but do something else (for example, S splits a clip).

Shortcut	Action
Space	Play / pause
Enter	Play the selection
I / O	Selection start / end at the playhead
X or Delete	Cut the selection or remove the clip
S	Split at the playhead
B	Bleep the selection
R	Mark the selection as a clip to extract
← / →	Move the playhead 1 s (with Shift, 5 s)
Home / End	Go to the start / end
+ / −	Zoom in / out
Ctrl + Z	Undo
Ctrl + Shift + Z	Redo
Ctrl + S	Save now
F	Full screen
Esc	Clear the selection

Workflow With Shortcuts

Marking a Cut

1. Play the audio with Space
2. When you reach the point where you want to start the cut, press S
3. Continue playing until the end of the segment
4. Press E to mark the end of the cut

Adding Markers

Markers allow you to flag points of interest in the audio. Press M at any time during playback to add a marker at the current position.

Note

Audio editor shortcuts only work when the focus is on the editor. If you are typing in a text field (title, description, etc.), the keys function normally as text input.
