Nastro
Keyboard shortcuts
Nastro can be played entirely from the keyboard. On macOS, use ⌘ wherever Linux and Windows use Ctrl, and Option wherever they use Alt.
Single keys and text fields
The single-key shortcuts (Z X C V B, Space, the arrows, S, R, L, T, Delete, Enter and select all) only work while no text field has the focus. While you type in the playlist Filter box or rename a playlist, those keys just edit the text. Click anywhere outside the field, or press Enter when renaming, to get them back. Shortcuts that include Ctrl (⌘), Alt or F1 work everywhere.
Playback
| Action | Linux and Windows | macOS |
|---|---|---|
| Previous track | Z | Z |
| Play | X | X |
| Pause (and resume) | C | C |
| Stop | V | V |
| Next track | B | B |
| Play or pause | Space | Space |
| Back 5 seconds | ← | ← |
| Forward 5 seconds | → | → |

| Volume down (5 %) | ↓ | ↓ |
| Turn shuffle on or off | S | S |
| Turn repeat on or off | R | R |

What each transport command does in every state is described in Playback. The up and down arrows change the volume, except while the track list has the focus (after you click a track), where they move the selection instead, see below.
Files and playlists
| Action | Linux and Windows | macOS |
|---|---|---|
| Open files... (adds them and plays the first) | L or Ctrl O | L or ⌘ O |
| Add folder... | Ctrl Shift O | ⌘ Shift O |
| New playlist | Ctrl N | ⌘ N |
| Go to the playlist Filter box | Ctrl F | ⌘ F |
| Select all tracks | Ctrl A | ⌘ A |
| Remove the selected tracks | Delete | Delete (Fn ⌫) |
| Play the selected track | Enter | Enter |
Add files..., Rename playlist, Export playlist..., Close playlist and the sort commands have no shortcut, they are in the File menu and the playlist buttons.
While the track list has the focus
Click a track to give the track list the focus. These keys then work on it:
| Action | Linux and Windows | macOS |
|---|---|---|
| Select the previous track (the shown rows only) | ↑ | ↑ |
| Select the next track | ↓ | ↓ |
| Move the selected tracks up one position | Alt ↑ | Option ↑ |
| Move the selected tracks down one position | Alt ↓ | Option ↓ |
Panels and window
| Action | Linux and Windows | macOS |
|---|---|---|
| Show or hide the equalizer | Alt G | Option G |
| Show or hide the playlist | Alt E | Option E |
| Collapse or expand the player | Alt W | Option W |
| Minimize the window | No shortcut, use the minimize button | ⌘ M |
| Open Preferences | Ctrl P | ⌘ , |
| Open the user guide | F1 | F1 |
| Quit | Ctrl Q | ⌘ Q |
Collapsing the equalizer or the playlist has no shortcut: use the collapse button of the panel or the View menu. See Shade mode.
Shortcuts in menus
The menus show the shortcut next to the commands that have one. Everything else in Nastro is done with the mouse: the equalizer sliders, the seek bar, the volume and balance sliders and the presets menu have no keyboard shortcuts.
