Every keyboard shortcut in the player
The full list, from K, J and L to moving subtitles with Z and X.
The player in Reelbox takes the keys most video sites use, plus a few of its own for subtitles. They work while the player is on screen and you are not typing in a field.

In the miniplayer and picture in picture
While the video is in the corner, the rest of the page is yours again, so only K, M and I reach the player; the arrows and Space scroll the page as usual. In the picture in picture window, Space or K plays and pauses, and J and L or the arrows skip 10 seconds.
