Keyboard Shortcuts

To work more efficiently, keyboard shortcuts exist for many of the functions used on a daily basis. While individual shortcuts are mentioned throughout the manual in the chapters where they are most relevant, this chapter provides a thorough reference of all available shortcuts in one place.

System-Wide Shortcuts

System-wide shortcuts (often referred to as hotkeys) function even if Video Sync is not the frontmost application.

System-wide shortcuts that use F keys (e.g., Command & F5) require that the Mac's F keys are configured to act as standard function keys rather than special keys (for controlling display brightness, volume, etc.).

This setting can be found in System Settings → Keyboard → Function Keys. If this setting is disabled, the Fn key would need to be pressed in addition to the shortcut (e.g., Command & Fn & F5).

The Enable system-wide shortcuts preference can be found in Preferences / Settings → MISC.

As these shortcuts are not customisable, it is possible that they interfere with existing shortcuts in other apps. Unticking this checkbox will disable them completely. A restart of Video Sync is required for the changes to take effect.
