Keyboard Shortcuts
Efficiency is at the core of the ynoTV experience. Master these keyboard shortcuts to navigate the interface and control playback with ease.
Shortcuts Overlay
Section titled “Shortcuts Overlay”Press / to open the in-app shortcuts overlay, a quick reference showing every current binding grouped by Playback, Navigation, Interface, and Layout. It always reflects your custom bindings, not just the defaults. Press / or Esc to dismiss it.

EPG Shift
Section titled “EPG Shift”The EPG Shift button in the guide toolbar moves the entire EPG grid forward or backward by one hour at a time — handy when a provider’s guide is offset or you want to preview what’s airing later. The shift applies to the current guide view and can be reset from the same toolbar.
EPG shifting is also available as controller buttons: bind EPG Next Hour (Guide > 1 hour) or EPG Previous Hour (Guide < 1 hour) in Settings → Controllers & Remote → Button Combinations to shift the guide with your controller.

Controllers & Remotes
Section titled “Controllers & Remotes”Beyond the keyboard, ynoTV can be driven entirely by a game controller or your phone:
- Game controller — spatial navigation with the D-Pad, plus fully rebindable buttons and chord combos (hold L1/R1/L2/R2 + button). Configure in Settings → Controllers & Remote.
- Keyboard as Controller — bind keyboard keys to act as controller buttons, so an HTPC wireless keyboard remote drives the same spatial navigation and chords.
See the Controllers & Phone Remote guide for the full setup.
