The playlist can be opened by moving the mouse to the left or right side of the player (depending on user set up, right by default), with a shortcut (P by default) or through a button if opening with the mouse is disabled. The playlist can also overlay the video or push/resize it. Most actions in Haruna can be triggered with a keyboard shortcut that can be configured by the user. Assign actions to mouse buttons: left, middle, right single and double clicks, as well as scroll up and down.
