MPV Hotkeys

This page lists 76 keyboard shortcuts for MPV on Windows, organized into six areas: Playback Controls, Timeline Seeking, Player Controls, Picture Controls, Subtitle Manipulation, and Mouse-Specific Controls. MPV is a free, open-source media player with a minimal interface where keyboard shortcuts do most of the work.

Playback Controls and Timeline Seeking cover the actions you will reach for constantly, such as play/pause, volume, and jumping through a file. Subtitle Manipulation is worth a look early on if you regularly watch content with subtitles.

Yes, this page documents Windows shortcuts. MPV also runs on macOS and Linux, and while many default bindings overlap, platform differences exist, so check those pages if you use MPV on a different system.
