Hotkeys

The hotKeys plugin option (disabled by default) allows you to control this plugin using a keyboard.

Note that this requires video.js 7.5.0 or newer.

Example

• online demo
• demo source

Usage

The built-in hotkey handling is:

Key	Action	Description
x	Toggle record	Start/stop recording (or take snapshot in image-only mode)
c	Toggle playback	Start/stop playback
p	Toggle picture-in-picture	Enter/exit picture-in-picture mode (if enabled)

To enable the built-in handler, specify true for the hotKeys plugin option:

record: {
    maxLength: 20,
    debug: true,
    video: true,
    hotKeys: true
}

Or use your own handler by specifying a function:

record: {
    maxLength: 20,
    debug: true,
    video: true,
    hotKeys: function(event) {
        console.log('pressed key: ' + event.which);

        // check https://github.com/timoxley/keycode for codes
        if (event.which == 88) {
            // toggle record button when pressing 'x' key
            player.recordToggle.trigger('click');
        }
    }
}
