    42 Keyboard shortcuts for Media Center

    Filed under: General VMC News;

    I personally don’t use the keyboard much on my Media Center machine.  I don’t have a need.  It sits next to the TV and runs…end of story.  However, there may be times when using the keyboard will be faster or needed.

    "Shahzad" at ITWel.com has posted a list in the forums that will be helpful if this need ever arises for you.  Hop on over to the post if you maybe have some to add that aren’t listed.

    A sample:

    Video and DVD
    Ctrl+E = Go to Videos
    Ctrl+Shift+M = Go to the DVD menu
    Ctrl+Shift+P = Play video/DVD
    Ctrl+P = Pause video/DVD
    Ctrl+F = Go to the next Chapter
    Ctrl+B = Go to the previous Chapter
    Ctrl+Shift+F = Fast-forward
    Ctrl+Shift+S = Stop video/DVD
    Ctrl+Shift+B = Rewind
    Ctrl+Shift+A = Change the DVD audio
    Ctrl+U = Change DVD subtitles
    Arrow Keys = Change the DVD angle

    Television
    Ctrl+T = Go to Live TV
    Ctrl+O = Go to Recorded TV
    Ctrl+G = Go to the Guide
    Ctrl+R = Record a TV show
    Ctrl+P = Pause a TV show
    Ctrl+Shift+P = Resume a TV show
    Ctrl+Shift+S = Stop recording or playing a TV show
    Ctrl+Shift+F = Fast-forward
    Ctrl+Shift+B = Rewind
    Page Up = Go to the next channel
    Page Down = Go to the previous channel
    Ctrl+B = Skip back
    Ctrl+F = Skip forward

    I doubt this is something that would be needed very often, but it’s nice to have a list just in case.  Full list here.
