Keyboard Controls

Audio Hijack provides robust keyboard navigation, offering controls for sessions along with standard keyboard shortcuts.

Controlling Sessions via Keyboard

Blocks are automatically numbered when added to a session, and the first 10 blocks can be quickly selected using number keys 1 through 9.

To move between blocks in a session, use the Arrow keys. To move a block within the session, hold down the Command key and use the Arrow keys simultaneously. For finer movement, use the Option key instead of the Command key when pressing the Arrow keys.

To adjust settings for a highlighted block, press the Spacebar to show and hide the popover. Pressing the Escape key will hide the popover when you’re done.

The following keyboard shortcuts are available, based on their commands in the menu bar.
