Inside the Studio, shortcuts are grouped the same way the playbar's `` panel groups them — playback first, then work-area markers, view controls, and app-level commands. Open the `` panel in the playbar for an in-app cheatsheet, a frame-jump input, and live readouts of the in/out points.

### Playback
87+
88+
| Shortcut | Action |
89+
| --- | --- |
90+
| `Space` | Play or pause |
91+
| `K` | Stop |
92+
| `J` | Play backward (press again to shuttle faster) |
93+
| `L` | Play forward (press again to shuttle faster) |
94+
| `` / `` | Step 1 frame |
95+
| `Shift+←` / `Shift+→` | Step 10 frames |
96+
97+
`J` and `L` build the classic NLE shuttle: each repeat ramps the playback rate up. Tap `K` between shuttle bursts to stop. With `K` held, tapping `J` or `L` steps one frame in that direction.

### Work area (in / out points)
100+
101+
| Shortcut | Action |
102+
| --- | --- |
103+
| `I` | Set in-point at the playhead |
104+
| `Shift+I` | Clear in-point |
105+
| `O` | Set out-point at the playhead |
106+
| `Shift+O` | Clear out-point |
107+
| `A` | Jump to in-point (or composition start if unset) |
108+
| `E` | Jump to out-point (or composition end if unset) |
109+
110+
The in and out points define a **work area**. When loop is on, both forward and backward playback loop within those boundaries — useful for tightening a transition or scrubbing a single clip without trimming it. The seek bar renders a teal band between in and out, with tick markers at each point. Clear the markers from the `` panel or with `Shift+I` and `Shift+O`.
