Keyboard support within the MistServer Meta-player

applies to MistServer 3.9 and newer

The MistServer Meta-player has a few keyboard shortkeys that can be used during playback. All player and protocol combinations are supported, however sometimes limits to the player or protocol can be applicable.

The keyboard shortkeys are enabled by default and they can be turned off through an option when embedding the player. This is done by the following option:

"keyControls":false   //true, false or "focus" are allowed

Short keys

Any letter can be used both as lower-case and upper-case. If controls are specifically hidden/removed the short key will be disabled.
