Keyboard shortcuts

MusicStation ships a small set of keys that work anywhere in the window: Space starts and stops playback, Enter moves the playhead to bar 1, and F1 (or ⌘? on macOS) opens the manual at the control under the pointer, or at the focused control when the keyboard has no pointer.

The session grid adds its own two keys while one of its cells has the focus: Enter launches the focused slot or the focused scene, and L toggles the loop of the focused slot. Tab reaches the grid once, the arrow keys walk it, and the focus ring shows which cell is active.

The keys respect what has the focus: a text field or a select owns the keys that edit or open it, so a space typed in the tempo field stays a space. The two help keys are not blocked by the focus and work inside a field as well.
