iTunes for Windows: iTunes keyboard shortcuts

 

You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly accomplish many tasks in iTunes. To 
find the shortcuts for common commands, look in the iTunes menus, or use
the table below as a reference. 

 

Many items in the iTunes window (for example, songs and column headings) also 
have shortcut menus that let you do tasks quickly. To see a shortcut menu,
right-click the item. 

 

To turn on full keyboard navigation, choose Edit > Preferences, click General, 
and select “Enable full keyboard navigation.” 

 

Some screen readers override keyboard combinations built into iTunes; check the 
screen reader documentation for instructions on customizing key combinations.
