# Advene shortcuts

This wiki documents the shortcuts available in the most recent version of Advene (0.40).

## Generic player shortcuts

These shortcuts are available in most parts/views of the interface.

- Control+Tab or Control-Space : play/pause the movie. Note: Using simply Space is a frequent request, but cannot be used here since Advene is about annotating videos. We need to be able to enter a space character, hence it cannot be used for control.
- Control+right/left : go forward/backward in the movie by 2 s (customizable through Edit/Preferences/Time related)
- Control+Shift-right/left : go forward/backward in the movie by 5 s (customizable through Edit/Preferences/Time related)
- Control+down/up : go forward/backward in the movie by 1/25 s
- Control+Shift-down/up : go forward/backward in the movie by 1ms (customizable through Edit/Preferences/Time related)
- Control+Home : go to the beginning of the movie
- Control+End : go to the end of the movie
- Insert (Linux, Windows) or Alt-Space (Linux, Mac OS X): create a new bookmark
- Insert + Shift or Alt-Space + Shift: create a new bookmark next to the current one
- Numeric/symbolic keypad shortcuts:
  - 0 or Insert: create a new bookmark
  - 5 or Begin: play/pause
  - 8/2 or Up/Down: go forward/backward in the movie by 1/25 s
  - 4/6 or Left/Right: go forward/backward in the movie by 2 s (5 s with Shift)
  - 7 or Home: go to the beginning of the movie
  - 1 or End: go to the end of the movie

## Timeline

### Timeline background

- p : play the movie at the cursor position

- Return : quickly edit the annotation (textual content only).
- p : play the annotation (either at the beginning or the end, depending on the cursor position)
- space : play the focused annotation (even if the cursor is not on the annotation widget)
- control+click : set the annotation begin or end (depending on the cursor position) to the current movie time
- control+scroll : update the annotation begin or end (depending on the cursor position) time. Holding Shift uses a larger increment
- control+return : split the annotation at the current player position (if the position is in the annotation's bounds)
- shift+delete : delete the annotation
- Drag-and-drop of an annotation on another one: popup a menu to propose to create a relation, merge annotations or align bounds.

### Quick edit mode

- Return: validate the new content
- Escape: cancel the editing
- Tab: validate the content and quick-edit the following annotation

### Annotation-type widget

- e : edit the annotation-type
- return : create a new annotation with the current position as begin time, edit it, and use the new current position value as end time when validating
- space : restrict playing to annotations of the given annotation-type (toggle)

## Active bookmarks

- Shift+DND on a timestamp: move the timestamp

- Control-Return : insert a timestamp mark (if the movie is playing)
- Control-Shift-Return : pause and insert a timestamp mark
- Control-PageDown/PageUp : go to next/previous mark
