The shortcuts
| Key | Does | Where |
|---|
| Space | Start, pause or resume. While an alarm rings, stops it | Every tool |
| R | Reset to the full length, or clear the stopwatch | Every tool |
| L | Record a lap | Stopwatch |
| Esc | Leave full screen | Every tool |
| F or Enter | Fill the screen | Second screen window |
Where they work
- Anywhere on the page, without clicking the timer first.
- In the Chrome and Edge floating window, when it has focus.
- In the second screen window: Space, R and L act on the laptop's controls.
When keys are ignored
- While you type in a field, such as the custom time or a speaker message.
- When the key is held with Cmd, Ctrl or Alt, so browser shortcuts like Cmd+R still work.
- When a form button such as the custom time's Start has focus. Space presses that button instead.
