Watching telly on a laptop or computer can sometimes be annoying.

That's especially true if you're having to faff around with a mouse or trackpad.

Thankfully Netflix has created several keyboard shortcuts that can help you navigate the app much more quickly.

There are loads to try out, and you've almost certainly missed some of them.

Here are the most useful:

  • Spacebar – toggle play / pause
  • Enter – toggle play / pause
  • F – full screen
  • Esc – exit full screen
  • Left Arrow – rewind 10 seconds
  • Right Arrow – fast-forward 10 seconds
  • Up arrow – volume up
  • Down arrow – volume down
  • M – mute toggle
  • Shift-Alt-Left Click – adjust the streaming bitrate (to improve or reduce the quality of the video)

There are also some clever hacks that you should know about on mobile.

For instance, normally if you want to fast-forward through a TV show or movie, you have to tap the screen and then drag the time-bar up hit the skip icons.

Sadly there's no guarantee that you will actually have any success.
