Play (selected Tracks) Now (can be changed by modifying 'Double-click action') <Enter> (numeric pad)
Play/Pause <0> (numeric pad)
Stop <.> (numeric pad)
Previous Track <7> (numeric pad)
Next Track <9> (numeric pad)

Volume Down <2> (numeric pad)
Balance Left <4> (numeric pad)
Balance Right <6> (numeric pad)
Balance Center <5> (numeric pad)
Show 'Now Playing' <+> (numeric pad)
