Pause playback and switch tracks using the keyboard.

Audio player combinations

You can control the audio player on the VKontakte social network using hot keys.

• Alt + K - play / pause;
• Alt + L - next song;
• Alt + J - Previous song.

On some keyboards, you must press the Fn key before using the shortcuts. Hot keys work if you have already turned on music, and the name of the track is displayed in the header of the site. The control function using combinations is available for browsers based on the Chromium engine: for example, for Chrome, Opera and Yandex. Browser.

Changing keyboard shortcuts

To change the keyboard shortcut, use the VK Music Player extension. It allows you to control the playback of music, even if the browser is running in minimized mode.

1. Download the "VK Music Player" extension.
2. Go to the page for configuring hotkeys in your browser. To do this, open the item "Shortcuts for extensions" on the extensions tab or enter the chrome: // extensions / configureCommands command in the address bar.
3. Find the item "VK Music Player" and set the key combination to control the audio player.
4. Set the "Global" parameter in front of the changed items so that the combinations work when the browser is minimized.

The following keys and combinations are supported:

• Alt + key (example: Alt + J, Alt + Home, Alt + ↑);
• Ctrl + Shift + key (example: Ctrl + Shift + M, Ctrl + Shift + End);
• Ctrl + key;
• control keys on multimedia keyboards;
• Fn + multimedia key.

In the new version of Chrome, the item "Globally" may not work. To solve the problem:

• write in the address bar: chrome: // flags;
• use the Ctrl + F key combination to find the Enable Material Design extensions option;
• change the default settings to Enable and restart the browser;
• go to the shortcut settings for extensions using the chrome command: // extensions / configureCommands;
• set global settings for hotkeys.

After changing the settings, you can switch to the new version of the design again, the globality will remain.
