Advene shortcuts

This wiki documents the shortcuts available in the most recent version of Advene (0.40).

Generic player shortcuts

These shortcuts are available in most parts/views of the interface.

• Control+Tab or Control-Space : play/pause the movie. Note: Using simply Space is a frequent request, but cannot be used here since Advene is about annotating videos. We need to be able to enter a space character, hence it cannot be used for control.
• Control+right/left : go forward/backward in the movie by 2 s (customizable through Edit/Preferences/Time related)
• Control+Shift-right/left : go forward/backward in the movie by 5 s (customizable through Edit/Preferences/Time related)
• Control+down/up : go forward/backward in the movie by 1/25 s
• Control+Shift-down/up : go forward/backward in the movie by 1ms (customizable through Edit/Preferences/Time related)
• Control+Home : go to the beginning of the movie
• Control+End : go to the end of the movie
• Insert (Linux, Windows) or Alt-Space (Linux, Mac OS X): create a new bookmark
• Insert + Shift or Alt-Space + Shift: create a new bookmark next to the current one
• Numeric/symbolic keypad shortcuts:
  • 0 or Insert: create a new bookmark
  • 5 or Begin: play/pause
  • 8/2 or Up/Down: go forward/backward in the movie by 1/25 s
  • 4/6 or Left/Right: go forward/backward in the movie by 2 s (5 s with Shift)
  • 7 or Home: go to the beginning of the movie
  • 1 or End: go to the end of the movie

Main GUI

Timeline

Timeline background

• p : play the movie at the cursor position

Annotation widget

• p : play the annotation (either at the beginning or the end, depending on the cursor position)
• space : play the focused annotation (even if the cursor is not on the annotation widget)
• control+click : set the annotation begin or end (depending on the cursor position) to the current movie time
• control+scroll : update the annotation begin or end (depending on the cursor position) time. Holding Shift uses a larger increment
• control+return : split the annotation at the current player position (if the position is in the annotation's bounds)
• shift+delete : delete the annotation
• Drag-and-drop of an annotation on another one: popup a menu to propose to create a relation, merge annotations or align bounds.

Quick edit mode

• Return: validate the new content
• Escape: cancel the editing
• Tab: validate the content and quick-edit the following annotation

Annotation-type widget

• e : edit the annotation-type
• return : create a new annotation with the current position as begin time, edit it, and use the new current position value as end time when validating
• space : restrict playing to annotations of the given annotation-type (toggle)

Active bookmarks

Note-taking

• Control-Shift-Return : pause and insert a timestamp mark
• Control-PageDown/PageUp : go to next/previous mark
