Kodi isn’t particularly mouse friendly. It’s perhaps understandable: given the app’s Xbox background, there was no need to code support for mice in its early days. Today, the app is widely used on PCs, and mouse input feels a bit clunky and imprecise.
But you don’t need to use the mouse at all when you are using Kodi. You can use keyboard shortcuts instead. In fact, due to the mouse input’s shortcomings, it’s arguably the preferred way to navigate around the app.
Here are some Kodi shortcuts you really need to know. We’ve divided the shortcuts into three categories for easy browsing.
