# Use keyboard shortcuts

> Control FastPix video playback using keyboard shortcuts for play, pause, seek, volume, fullscreen, captions, and other common actions.

Control FastPix video playback using keyboard shortcuts for play, pause, seek, volume, fullscreen, captions, and other common actions.

Keyboard shortcuts greatly enhance user interaction by enabling fast, seamless control of video playback without relying on on-screen controls. They allow users to perform actions more quickly, improving the overall efficiency and accessibility of the player. This is especially valuable for those who need an easier way to navigate videos, such as during presentations or multitasking. Additionally, shortcuts enable uninterrupted content viewing by minimizing the need for manual adjustments. FastPix Player offers customization options, allowing users to disable or modify specific shortcuts to fit their personal preferences and viewing habits.

## Accessibility and customization

\


### Disable all keyboard control

To disable all keyboard shortcuts, add the `disable-keyboard-controls` attribute to the player configuration:

```jsx
<fastpix-player 
  playback-id="Playback ID"  
  disable-keyboard-controls 
></fastpix-player> 
```

\


### Disable specific keyboard controls

You can disable individual keyboard controls by setting the `hot-keys` property. For example, to disable the 'K' key:

```jsx
<fastpix-player 
  playback-id="Playback ID" 
  hot-keys="KeyK" 
></fastpix-player> 
```

\


To disable multiple keys, use the `hot-keys` property. For example, to disable both the 'K' and 'F' keys:

```jsx
<fastpix-player 
  playback-id="7bff10bc-8147-4331-b864-6e5bc4d904cd" 
  hot-keys="KeyK KeyF" 
></fastpix-player> 
```
