Media Center provides a number of keyboard shortcuts (hot-keys, accelerators) to facilitate operations.

Keyboard Hot-keys |
|||
PLAYBACK |
|||
Several keyboard shortcuts depend on the context, and will be described multiple times in the tables below. For example, Enter may initiate playback of the selected items, or pause video. Page Up may move the selection to the top of the list of visible items, or reset image playback to the first item. |
|||
Ctrl + P |
|||
Most shortcuts are valid only when Media Center is the foreground application. Some, marked as (Global), function even when Media Center is running in the background. |
|||
Play / Pause |
|||
Media Center also supports [[User_Defined_Global_Keyboard_Shortcuts|user-defined keyboard shortcuts]]. |

Media Center provides a number of keyboard shortcuts (hot-keys, accelerators) to facilitate operations. In addition to Media Center-specific shortcuts, standard Windows Alt key menu navigation/accelerator keys are available and readily discoverable by holding down the Alt key, and taking note of the underlined letter in the menus and sub-menus.
Several keyboard shortcuts depend on the context, and will be described multiple times in the tables below. For example, Enter may initiate playback of the selected items, or pause video. Page Up may move the selection to the top of the list of visible items, or reset image playback to the first item.
Most shortcuts are valid only when Media Center is the foreground application. Some, marked as (Global), function even when Media Center is running in the background.
Media Center also supports user-defined keyboard shortcuts.
