NetFlix Hotkeys List I don’t know about you but I don’t like switching between the keyboard and mouse all the time. If I’m working with the keyboard, I want to stay there.
If I'm watching something on Netflix, I can't seem to use keyboard shortcuts for Firefox. For example, I can't use ctrl + T/N to open a new tab or window. On your PC, create a shortcut to Plex and right click it. Select Properties and click the Shortcut key field, setting it to Ctrl+Alt+1, Ctrl+Alt+2 or Ctrl+Alt+3. Add a step at the start of your Plex Activity, selecting the keyboard shortcut for Plex as the new command.
That’s where HotKeys come in. HotKeys are Combinations that will provide the same function as a mouse action would. Some even provide functions that can’t be done with a mouse. Even the simplest of applications, like NotePad, have some keyboard shortcuts built in. Consider + V to Paste, or + X to Cut, or + S to Save. These are common examples and are native to most Windows programs.

Windows itself has a fat of keyboard short cuts. Wrote a great article for called listing many of them. NetFlix/Silverlight is no different. It has several useful shortcuts built into it as well. Note: These shortcuts work in the Silverlight version that runs on Windows.
Short List. Space – Toggle Play/Pause. Enter – Toggle Play/Pause. PgUp – Play. PgDn – Pause. F – Full-screen. Esc – Exit full-screen.
Shift + Left arrow – Rewind. Shift + Right arrow – Fast Forward. Up arrow – Volume Up. Down arrow – Volume Down. M – Mute toggle Full Screen Mode. Control and Spacebar – Change Modes to Frame Forward and Frame Backward.
Arrow Left – Move Backward a Frame. Arrow Right – Move Forward a Frame Sometimes I like to have a movie going while I’m writing and by using these shortcuts I never have to leave the keyboard. Do you have any NetFlix tips? If so, please leave a comment to share it with us.
The Netflix movie player ( desktop version) has the following keyboard shortcuts: Space – Toggle Play/Pause Enter – Toggle Play/Pause PgUp – Play PgDn – Pause F – Full-screen Esc – Exit full-screen Shift+Left arrow – Rewind Shift+Right arrow – Fast Forward Up arrow – Volume Up Down arrow – Volume Down M – Mute toggle In full-screen mode: Ctrl+space – Frame forward/backward mode. Ctrl+space pauses the movie and enters mode (aka intra-frame or i-frame mode).

The right and left arrow keys then move between key frames. The following Ctrl+Shift+Alt+. shortcuts ( Ctrl+Shift+Option+. in Mac OS X) toggle information displays on/off when the player is NOT in full-screen mode. The displays will remain on, however, if full-screen mode is activated. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M – Menu; includes loading custom.dfxp sub-title files.
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C – Codes; frame rate plus other (unknown to me) info. Also makes the other overlays green. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D – Display A/V Stats on-screen Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L – Logging window Ctrl+Shift+Alt+P – Player info Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R – toggle color Rotation for overlays in Chrome; probably a debugging feature. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S – current Streaming bit-rate and manual bit-rate selection While Netflix’ player implements the above keyboard shortcuts; unfortunately, the desktop version doesn’t yet respond to. The Auto Hot Key script can add more shortcuts if needed, however, AHK doesn’t easily handle all of the MCE events either.
If you are, or know, a Netflix developer, native MCE event support would be really cool.
