Kaset provides keyboard control for playback and navigation while preserving standard macOS window shortcuts.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Space |
Play / Pause |
⌘→ |
Next track |
⌘← |
Previous track |
⌘↑ |
Volume up |
⌘↓ |
Volume down |
⌘S |
Toggle shuffle (off/on; the player-bar control also cycles to Smart Shuffle) |
⌘R |
Cycle repeat mode (Off → All → One) |
⇧⌘M |
Switch to Mini Player |
Mute is still available from the Playback menu and AppleScript, but Kaset intentionally does not assign a default mute shortcut so the native macOS minimize shortcut (⌘M) continues to work.
Playback shortcuts are source-aware where both sources implement an equivalent action: play/pause, skip, seek, and volume route to regular YouTube when a YouTube video was the last active playback source. Shuffle, repeat, queue, and lyrics remain YouTube Music concepts.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
⌘1 |
Go to Home |
⌘2 |
Go to Explore |
⌘3 |
Go to Library |
⌘F |
Go to Search |
⌘K |
Open Command Bar |
⇧⌘Y |
Switch source (YouTube Music ⟷ YouTube) |
Navigation shortcuts route to the active source's equivalent destination:
in YouTube mode, ⌘1/⌘2/⌘F go to the YouTube Home/Explore/Search
surfaces and ⌘3 goes to Playlists.
