Music Library Manager > Shortcut Keys

A "shortcut key" is a function key or key combination that executes a command directly, so you don't need to use the context menus.

Some shortcut keys are specific to the active view. If the wrong view is active they won't work. The view is indicated by the [xxx view] comments in the table below.

See also Context Menus.
