YouTube Keyboard Shortcuts That’ll Change Your Life

You’re watching a two-hour coding tutorial and keep pausing to take notes.
Click pause, jot something down, click play, miss the next part, rewind... your mouse is exhausted and your focus is gone.

Then you discover YouTube’s keyboard shortcuts.

The essential shortcuts

Playback

• Space or K — Play / Pause
• J — Rewind 10 seconds
• L — Fast-forward 10 seconds
• ← / → — Rewind / Fast-forward 5 seconds

• M — Mute / Unmute
• ↑ / ↓ — Volume up / down

Quick navigation

• 0–9 — Jump to 0%–90% of the video

Fullscreen

• F — Fullscreen with captionz on the right side, but if you focus on the youtube embeded player, then only the YouTube player in fullscreen.

Why it matters

These shortcuts keep you in the zone — whether you’re studying, binge-watching, or skipping sponsor segments. Your hands stay on the keyboard, and your focus stays on the content.

Once you start using J and L for 10-second jumps, there’s no going back — simple, obvious, essential.

Give them a try. Your mouse hand will thank you.
