Connect keyboard shortcuts
The keys that work inside Connect, the player controls, and the tray menu.
Keyboard shortcuts
Connect runs the same SoundAssist app you use in the browser, so the shortcuts are the same ones; they work in both places.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
? |
Show the shortcuts list |
Cmd / Ctrl + K |
Open search |
g then h |
Go to home |
g then s |
Go to Storage |
g then i |
Go to Inbox |
Press g, let go, then the second key.
Player controls
These act on whatever is playing, wherever you are in the app:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Space |
Play / pause |
← |
Seek back 5s |
→ |
Seek forward 5s |
They only work while Connect (or the browser tab) is the focused window. There are no system-wide hotkeys; if you're working in your DAW, switch to Connect first.
Tray menu
Right-click the SoundAssist icon in your system tray (Windows) / menu bar (macOS):
- Open SoundAssist: focus the main window
- Quit
Closing the window doesn't quit Connect; it keeps running in the tray so folder syncing and notifications continue. Use Quit to stop it properly.
Something not working?
If a shortcut does nothing, check that Connect is the focused window and that you're not typing in a text field. If it still doesn't work, email info@soundassist.online with your OS + version and the shortcut that's failing.
