Does macOS Picture-in-Picture have any kind of keyboard shortcuts?
I love using the Picture in Picture feature for use cases like :
- Learning some stuffs, while doing the thing. Not switching windows/apps anymore.
- Binging some shows, movies, while working.
But the thing is, once you missed a thing, you either :
- Close the Picture-in-Picture mode, go back to that app again, and rewind it back (Mac's Rewind and Fast Forward kb shortcuts don't work) (if you happen to not know macOS have a Media Menu bar icon)
- Or click the Media Menu bar icon, and click Rewind Back or Rewind icons.
Check the screen capture for the demo of the UX annoyance here : https://cln.sh/MDzsof
So is there anyway to control the PiP states/media controls with just keyboard shortcuts :
- Play/Pause
- Toggle PiP on/off
- Hide PiP to the side
- Rewind/Rewind Back
- PiP window placement
- Close the PiP
Do we have any official Apple documentation regarding keyboard shortcuts about this?
If not, any Siri Shortcuts, Apple Scripts, Applets or app tweaks that can help me with this?
PS : to any devs reading, if this solution don't exist yet. This will be a great feature idea for you to solve on your next Mac app.
PSS : to any Apple devs working on the macOS. This will be a great little tweak to solve in the next macOS release. Feature request!
PSSS: let's also have Auto-PiP feature, where if you change Apps/active video while a video is playing either in an app/browser video, PiP will automatically toggle and float in the screen, until you go back to that app again.
