Does anyone know what keyboard shortcuts work with the latest Zune Desktop software (I believe it is v4.7)? I am particularly interested in something which helps in navigation and search.

Also, I've noticed that if I select the leftmost column (Artists/Genres only) and start typing I get a kind of instant search. Does anyone know if -

  1. there is a way to invoke this without selecting the first column
  2. use it with the album and song view

From the horse's mouth, the Zune site itself :

Previous item or chapter        CTRL+B
Go to search box            CTRL+E
Next item or chapter        CTRL+F
Turn shuffle on or off      CTRL+H
Eject CD (when only one CD drive)   CTRL+J
Play or pause playing       CTRL+P
Stop playing            CTRL+S
Audio playback, turn repeat on/off  CTRL+T
Zoom video size         CTRL+Z
Video : rewind video. Audio : return to normal speed.   CTRL+SHIFT+B
Fast forward through song or video  CTRL+SHIFT+F
Show Zune Help      F1
Mute sound          F7
Decrease sound volume   F8
Increase sound volume   F9

many of those in the first list don't work on the latest version. Did you verify them? – Pulkit Sinha Jan 15 '11 at 9:41

How can I verify them without a Zune? And you really don't have to under-vote. If you want this question to be useful to others, you might instead indicate which ones still work. – harrymc Jan 15 '11 at 10:29
you could download it - zune.net/en-us/products/software/default.htm . as far as I can tell, only search works. Ctrl + B goes to the previous track instead of previous view. and the functionality provided by zunekeys is already provided by the multimedia keys. – Pulkit Sinha Jan 15 '11 at 16:56
