Playback and seeking
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Play or pause. |
| Left / Right arrow | Seek backward or forward by the interval selected in the control bar. |
| Shift + Left / Right | Go to the previous or next round. |
| , / . | Step backward or forward by one replay step. |
| J | Jump back 10 seconds. |
| Q / E | Previous or next event. |

The speed selector supports 0.25×, 0.5×, 1×, 2×, 4× and 8× playback. The seek selector changes arrow-key jumps between 1, 5, 10 and 30 seconds.
Cameras and players
The view selector includes free camera, follow player, player POV, top-down and an all-player POV view. Press F to cycle through free, follow, POV and top-down. Number keys select player slots when a demo is loaded. Escape leaves the multi-POV view and returns to POV.
Use POV first when judging information available to a player. Use free or top-down afterward to understand the wider situation. A reconstructed POV is a replay view, not a video capture of the player’s original screen.
Review and presentation
| R | Open or close match review. |
|---|---|
| Tab | Open the scoreboard. |
| H | Hide or show major HUD and viewer interface elements. |
| X | Toggle x-ray when the account has access. |
| M | Toggle map radar when the account has access. |
| B | Enter walk-the-map mode when available; walk mode uses its own movement controls. |
The Viewer tools menu also exposes screenshot, replay-link, fullscreen and navigation actions. Some tools are PRO features; the interface identifies access when selected.
Timeline accessibility
The timeline can receive keyboard focus. Home moves to the start, End to the end, and arrows seek using the selected interval. This is useful when mouse dragging is imprecise or when reviewing on a keyboard-first setup.
