Keyboard shortcut for audio playback in Attachment field

[Julia_Kulgavchu]

Attachment field type has a nice preview element for audio files. They can be played by clicking on the ‘play’ icon. Is there a keyboard shortcut for playing those file? I didn’t find it in the official list.

Does the space bar work? If not, same answer as your other post here:

Custom keyboard shortcuts for quick actions: how to make? Ask the community

Airtable doesn’t natively give you this control, but you MIGHT have some luck by turning on the Accessibility features of your operating system, or by using a custom macro app like Keyboard Maestro.

Space bar doesn’t do that. It expands the record. From an expanded record I need to mouse-click to play the file.
Shift+Space expands the cell, but then again nothing to play.
Enter opens a window ‘Select a file to upload’.

This question is indeed related to the other one that you replied to, about custom shortcuts (Custom keyboard shortcuts for quick actions: how to make?). For audio playback specifically I was hoping to discover native functionality, because this is about using a single standard UI element (audio playback inside Attachment field type). For the other question about custom shortcuts, no such hopes :slightly_smiling_face:

Best you can do is add it as a feature request in the #show-and-tell:product-suggestions category.

Keyboard Maestro might be able to help, not sure. Keyboard Maestro can perform mouse clicks.

Thank you, I’ll look into Keyboard Maestro and its alternatives. And will add a feature request, why not :slightly_smiling_face:
