Hotkeys
Webamp attempts to emulate the hotkeys of the original Winamp. This means that you can control playback and other features of Webamp using your keyboard.
Enable hotkeys
If you want to display the hotkeys in the Webamp UI, you can pass the enableHotkeys option when initializing Webamp:
import Webamp from "webamp";
const webamp = new Webamp({
enableHotkeys: true,
});
webamp.renderWhenReady(document.getElementById("winamp-container"));
